Discworld 13: Small Gods | Global Dogan
1 post | 10 read | 1 to read
Amazon.com ReviewDiscworld is an extragavanza--among much else, it has billions of gods. "They swarm as thick as herring roe," writes Terry Pratchett in Small Gods, the 13th book in the series. Where there are gods galore, there are priests, high and low, and... there are novices. Brutha is a novice with little chance to become a priest--thinking does not come easily to him, although believing does. But it is to Brutha that the great god Om manifests, in the lowly form of a tortoise. --Blaise SelbyReview"Delightful . . . logically illogical as only Terry Pratchett canwrite." -- -- Anne McCaffrey "Pratchett is the funniest parodist working in the field today,period." -- _-- _The New York Review of Science Fiction "Terry Pratchett does for fantasy what Douglas Adams did forscience fiction." -- _-- _Today "Terry Pratchett is fast, funny and going places. Try him!" -- -- Piers Anthony "There is no end to the wacky wonders . . . no fantasies as consistently, inventively mad . . . wild and wonderful!" -- _-- _Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine "Unadulterated fun . . . witty, frequently hilarious . . .Pratchett parodies everything in sight." -- _-- _San Francisco Chronicle

THE BEST book I've read so far in the Discworld series. I can't tell yet if it's a favourite, it demanded even more of me than some of the sociopolitical Sam Vimes books did, (and I say that as someone with no stake in organized religion), but it carries such an important, compassionate message, told incredibly well. The world needs more people who think like Terry Pratchett thought. 🐢
