Small Gods: Discworld #13 Audiobook (Unabridged)

" My favorite Terry Pratchett book. "

" One of the best commentaries on religion. Ever. "

" One of the better books I've read in a long time. Witty, satirical, but most importantly- hilarious. Since friends and family have read it it has become an inside joke of sorts. This has been the first Terry Pratchett I've read and it has entirely convinced me to go out and buy more because (view spoiler)[there's good eating on one of those. (hide spoiler)] "

" On of his best works and a great book to get into Prachett's discworld, without having to read most of his other work. "

" Pratchett's best book. Appropriates church history and turns it on its ear. Funny and incisive. "

" Religion, Philosophy, and Political intrigue all get the treatment in this book about an unasuming young monk named Brutha ("Brother", get it?) who is called of God, well, one of them anyway, to restore the Omnian religion. Brutha is based on Thomas Aquinas. The Inquisition makes an appearance as do the Philosophers introduced in Pyramids. A fun book. "

" Honestly, one of the very best and most genuine critics of our crazy dependency on religion and codified belief systems. Plus, it's just fun. "

" I loved this book. I really love Terry Pratchett's writing style. "

" This book was Clever and witty and gave an insightful look at gods and belief. Characters - gods, philosophers and Brutha, Om etc. were tight and well written. "

" The first Discworld book I read, and it got me hooked. "

" Interesting read. Slow to start and drawn out at the end, but surprisingly funny! The central idea of the book reminded me of J.M. Barrie's fairy-longevity theory. Thought provoking and fun at the same time! "

" Amazing book I highly recommend it if you need a good laugh and a little heart warming. "

" An amazing and profound book. It's settled: I'm a Pratchett convert. "

" this is one of my favourite discworld books- this one was so amazingly good. :D Om was absolutely hilarious, && i'm so glad that Death made some appearances (Death is a character. he's HILARIOUS.) because it added so much humor. i totally loved this. "

" I loved the character of Om in the book. He is one of the funniest character that I have ever read. "

" Equal parts silly and smart! This was my introduction to Pratchett's Discworld series, and I can't wait to read another! "

" Pratchetts best work "

" I love Terry Pratchett too much to be very objective. I recognize this is not one of his best (Guards, Guards remains my favorite), but I've always enjoyed the various gods of Discworld with their foibles and strange zones of influence. "

" Second time through. I love this book. "

" One of the best novels that Mr. Pratchett has ever wrote. Small Gods is a turning point for the author, where his books went beyond simply comedic to philosophical as well. It's as if he had finally found his own style and by doing so added so much depth into his work. "

" This was one of my favorite Pratchett Discworld books. Really interesting ideas, and prose that is funny and serious at the same time. "

" My fave of TP's. Partly because I have a signed copy somewhere, with the inscription "To Shub Sethop, you rule because they believe." (I was occaisionaly acting as the earthly avatar of a Small God around that time. Long story.) "

" Quite possibly the most wonderful book I have ever had the pleasure to read. Seriously. "

" Pratchett's commentary and philosophizing is more outwardly evident here, than in most of his books. Not to say that's a bad thing, though. Even when you can observe that he is making you think, he manages to do it skillfully and in a way that doesn't feel oppressive or preachy. "

" In this book, Pratchett satirizes religion and religious practices (including the Inquisition). The story is interesting throughout, and all ends are tied neatly at the end of the book. "

" Another excellent entry to the Discworld series. I loved the philosophers' discussions! "

" My favourite of all the discworld novels, all hail the great god OM! "
