Pros: Brilliantly written, brilliant satire, brilliant characters, brilliant everything, just brilliant. Cons: Made me overuse the word "Brilliant" in pros...
There’s a rumour in the mountains… the Dwarves have learned how to turn lead into gold… Thus begins the 25th Discworld novel and my 150th review. (Well okay there are one or two I deleted, so technically it’s not ...
Pros: Funny characters, interesting situation and great writing Cons: Couldn't find a thing wrong with it. It ended? Maybe that's it.
The Truth has the honour of being the 25th Discworld book. I haven’t read all 25, but I have read a fair number of them, and I’d have to say this one is the best in awhile, even better than The Fifth Elephant.
Pros: simply brilliant satire, Pratchett is in top form
Cons: Fans looking for pure silliness may be surprised by more substance than expected.
I've been a fan of Pratchett's earlier novels, so I picked this one up without hesitation. He is one of the few authors that inspires such confidence in me. Pratchett's writing is consistently rewarding not only for his crazed silliness, but for his...
Pros: Some amusing new characters and the continuing development of the Discworld. Cons: A bit too cosy. The actual plot is thin.
'The Truth' is the twenty-fifth of Terry Pratchett's Discworld series of books, which do for the fantasy genre what Douglas Adams' 'Hitch-hikers' did for (or perhaps to) science-fiction. The Discworld is a world that, sticking two fingers up to the law...
Pros: Excellently written with an entertaining flourish and an insightful message. Cons: None, this novel was amazing.
I received this book for Christmas when my father gave it to me. What caught his attention was the purple and yellow jacket of the hardcover book. Of course he preceded to read the jacket and saw that Pratchett was being compared to Kurt Vonnegut, J....
Pros: Excellent satire, very funny, stronger plot than most Discworld books Cons: I personally didn't care for the bad guys
Reviewing Pratchett is always hard, I absolutely adore most of his books, and his literary cannon is huge. I have been reading all of the Discworld books in chronological order and have finally arrived at “The Truth,” the twenty-fifth book in the ...
Pros: A thoroughly enjoyable read Cons: Still no chapters!!!!
Terry Pratchett has outdone himself with this new offering 'The Truth'. Considered by even some of his own die-hard fans to have been having difficulty finding innovative story lines at his prodigious production rate, well, any criticism cancelled. ...
Pros: Biting satire on the nature of the press Cons: None
For those who don't know, the Discworld series began as a spoof of fantasy novels, set on a world carried on the back of four elephants carried themselves on the back of a giant turtle, complete with wizards, barbarians and dragons. As the series has...
Pros: Great development of character balanced with the right amount of humour Cons: Can't put it down, can't stop reading it, infectious
The real debate in 'The Truth' is which paper you find most interesting - the Inquirer has its own absurd little stories, yet the Times has stories that you may actually want to read. I mean, who REALLY cares about a woman giving birth to snakes? If I ...
