by Terry Pratchett
fantasy, humour

read (again) in August 2015
rated 9/10: really, really good
It's a while since I last read a Discworld novel. But it seems to me, this is one of the best. Likeable characters, tangled plot, awful puns, social satire and humorous vegetables.
I've also come out of a series of dystopian novels. The latest one was so miserable that I gave up reading half way through. I was desperate for some light relief...
Thank goodness for Discworld !
I read The Truth in one day. At several points I was laughing so hard that I was choking. (I do have a cold.) I had to stop reading, think serious thoughts, calm down... before I could risk reading on. I mean to say... They caught him by the Trifles... Ah, you just had to be there :-)
With a satisfactory ending for everyone. Although the potato may want a few more goes at reincarnation...
Brilliant :-)
