Review: The Truth (Discworld Book 30 of 53ish)
The Truth is the second book in the Industrial Revolution subseries of Discworld. The first book had been Moving Pictures and was one of my least favorite, so I was very pleasantly surprised by this one. I enjoyed it quite a bit.
In this book, newspapers are introduced to Ankh-Morpork. Meanwhile, there’s a plot against Lord Vetinari (yes, another one!) to frame him for a crime. The story was funny and interesting, with some deeper commentary sandwiched within the silliness. I really liked the main character, William de Worde. Since the story is set in Ankh-Morpork, we also see some other familiar characters from the various subseries. Most of the page time goes to William, though, or to the people involved in carrying out the Vetinari plot.
