SMALL GODS : DISCWORLD: THE GODS COLLECTION – TERRY PRATCHETT

An intriguing satire on institutionalized religion corrupted by power . . . Independent Deftly weaves themes of forgiveness, belief and spiritual regeneration The Times In the beginning was the Word. And the Word was: Hey, you! For Brutha the novice is the Chosen One. He wants peace and justice and brotherly love. He also wants the Inquisition to stop torturing him now, please . . . Readers adore Small Gods: One of Pratchett/s best works, retelling what has happened, happens, and will happen as soon as faith goes mad, uncontrolled, and vicious, tries to expand its sphere of influence and doesn/t care about the foundations and rules, contradicting its own commandments Goodreads reviewer, ? ? ? ? ? It makes you contemplate so many things. Beyond religion too. There were so many passages when I was musing It s like this thought has sprung out of my head but it s written a hundred times better than I would have said it Goodreads reviewer, ? ? ? ? ? Pratchett creates a host of characters that represent people and our relationship with religion, done with thought and hope, a thoroughly laugh out loud experience Goodreads reviewer, ? ? ? ? ? The book is never preachy (see what I did there? ;P) or boring. On the contrary, the mad romp through several hitherto unseen countries on the disc was delightful Goodreads reviewer, ? ? ? ? ? Pratchett at his theological best Goodreads reviewer, ? ? ? ? ? This extremely cleaver religious satire is one of the top Pratchett s work as organized religion becomes target of his wit and cynicism Goodreads reviewer, ? ? ? ? ? A true delight. Also, as I finished the book, I felt my cold go away . . . hallelujah for the curative properties of wonderful books Goodreads reviewer, ? ? ? ? ?
