The 25th DiscWorld novel, This one is about Journalism, as De Worde starts a newspaper called ‘The Truth’
The characters are wonderful (as usual)
Some new ones like...
Otto, a Vampire whose interests lie in photography despite being burnt to dust at every flash
Goodmountain the dwarf who owns the press
Rocky the troll
Mr Tulip and Mr Pin representing the ‘New firm’, bring out Pratchett’s brilliant spoofing ability (These characters spoof Samuel L Jackson’s and Travolta’s characters in Pulp Fiction)
Mr Slant the zombie lawyer
And ofcourse the time tested characters
Cut-Me-Own-Throat dibbler
Lord Vetinari, the patrician
Commander Vimes of the Watch
The Watch (Nobby, Angua, Carrot, Igor)
DEATH (Johnny Depp should play death in the movie if there ever is a movie)
Gaspode, the talking dog
In all a book I thoroughly enjoyed. Or as Mr Tulip would succinctly put it “ A ___ing good Book”.
If you have never read Terry Pratchett before, please please read one of his discworld books, you will not regret!!
Next in my list is Neil Gaiman’s latest best seller ‘Anansi Boys’, I am already rubbing my hands in anticipation.
