Amazon.co.uk
Discworld 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.

Quite simply, Terry Pratchett is the funniest man alive. However, his early books are somewhat coarse, and the later books may confused a newcomer.
Small Gods is an excellent starting point for anyone. The book has new characters, a new plot, and nothing is expected of the reader. Its a wonderful book that will explain everything for someone who's never ventured into the Discworld before. Its also one of the funniest texts around.
Small Gods is also a great books in its seriousness. The book takes a witty look at the perils of making religion too organized - in worshipping the Church rather than the God. It is a book you can read, then mull over for hours - if you didn't break up laughing every two minutes.

There are billions of gods in the world; they swarm as thick as flies. Most of them are too small to see & never get worshipped, at least by anything bigger than bacteria. Consider the tortoise & the eagle. The former, a ground-hugging creature with limited, immediate horizons & the latter, while living in high places, sits for hours surveying all until it spies the wobbling tortoise. If you've not dabbled in a Terry Pratchett yet, you are in for a treat. If you like your world turned topsy-turvy just to see what shakes out of your pockets of thoughts, get thee to this Terry Pratchett & chuckle. Ripping good stuff & utterly irreverent! END

In „Small Gods", the young omnian novice Brutha leads a quiet and simple life in the service of the great god Om. Quiet and simple, that is, unitl the great god materializes in front of him (not as the raging bull he would have liked to be, but as a small turtle) and demands service from Brutha. But why is the great god a turtle? Well, because on the disc, the appearance in which a god can materialize is determined by the number of his believers. And the once-great Om has only one true believer left: Brutha. Oh, his church might be powerful and big, but its members tend to believe not in Om but in the priests and inquisitors who „represent" him. So Om has to get his believers back, before even Brutha deserts him, and he vanishes forever...
Once again, Terry Pratchett has combined comedy with philosophy. When reading about the omnian church, you just can't help being reminded of some of the churches in our corner of the multiverse. (Dies ist eine Amazon.de an der Uni-Studentenrezension.)

Possibly my favorite Prachett
One of my favorite books, not only within discworld.
Religion can be quite dangerous, but it shouldn't. Terry reflects on a difficult topic in his special way. Lesen Sie weiter...

a disgrace to religion
although this book was an intentional attack on organized religion of the past, i thought that it went to far in trying to humor the audience. Lesen Sie weiter...

Good - Not my favorite
Excellent satire, and extremely well written as are all of Pratchett's novels. But a bit too "dark" for my taste. Lesen Sie weiter...

Religion From the Point of View of a Tortoise
This has to be the BEST Discworld novel yet. Terry Pratchett's outstanding efforts to make fun of religion has come through for him. Lesen Sie weiter...
