Small Gods

by: Nigel Planer (author) Terry Pratchett (author)

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.

I struggled with this one. Much like Pyramids, this one is essentially religious satire. In addition, until the last 50 or so pages, it could have been set anywhere. There was one v. brief mention of the librarian from Unseen University rescuing scrolls from a fire, a couple of characters mentione...

text Review: Small Gods (Discworld Book 14 of 53ish)

Small Gods stands on its own in the Discworld universe, at least when it comes to the story and the characters. It does of course continue to build on the “in jokes” that have been accumulating from the very first Discworld book. There are some references that I think would sail harmlessly over th...

The divine order of Discworld is put under the microscope by Terry Pratchett in “Small Gods” as we follow focus of Omnian religion, the Great God Om, and his only believer, Brutha. Pratchett takes on not only organized religion, but also atheism, philosophy, and how militaries find a new technology...
