Summary: The most hilarious in-depth look at religion around!
Review: Like all other Pratchett novels, this one is extremely witty, sarcastic, and equally intelligent. Let's start a new religion- we'll call it "Pratchettism"

Summary: Is everyone here senile?
Review: This was the best book ever. That is all i need say. I am mainly writing this in the hope that someone with at least a spark of knowledge has noticed that near the top of the page in the synopsis et c. area, it says that i) 'brutha is a man...'. he is refered to by everyone as a boy and we know that he is 17 and a novice anyway.ii) that 'the disc is carried by FOUR TURTLES'! oh please. There are several philosophies on the disc, including that the world is an Orb, and that the universe is carried by an old man in a sack (see 'the last continent'), but no-where does it mention four turtles. the turtle moves. Lord Blaa P.S. No worries, eh?

Summary: Pratchett's Best, might even change your life.
Review: If Pratchett isn't God, he's at least tuned into that realm much better than any of us. This book is amazing. Hands down i feel it is the best book i have ever read and ever will read (and i have gotten around some in my reading already), simply because it has everything, and teaches so much. Rolling-on-the-floor-laughing caliber humor, deeply memorable characters (Brutha is an icon), a wonderful and original plot, and a few lessons that, should you read this book with an open mind, may change your life. I know they did mine. You owe it to yourself to read this book. If you don't, may your sexual organs sprout wings and fly away!

Summary: Pratchetts Best!!!!
Review: Since I am a literature student I am a reads-everything-I-can-get person. Having once recognized Pratchetts works, I left all my classic German literature aside and started reading and reading and reading... . But this book, "Small Gods", has beaten everything I've read before (even my all-time favorite "Faust" - you know: the Goethe one). It is witty, intelligent and above all deaply questioning. I remained nodding all the time:"Yes, that's what I always believed religion is about."

Summary: Perhaps the best book in the best series by the best author
Review: Most of America has not yet caught on to the Discworld series, but those of us who have are fiercely devout followers, and this book is a prime example of why. On the surface, it is a hilarious and touching story of a once-mighty god and his last remaining believer, but Pratchett's astounding wisdom and understanding of human nature take it much deeper, through labyrinths literal, metaphorical, and moral. At the center are the questioning of a religion where belief centers on the church, rather than the god, and the way a sole believer can shift his god's way of thinking and take a religion with it. At the same time, Pratchett employs his usual side-splitting humor and vile puns to show us the silly side of serious philosophy, atheism in a world with thousands of gods, and exactly why tortoises hate eagles. And that even an orang-utan Librarian from across the sea can help if books are burning. If I was asked "Which is the best Discworld novel?" I'd say, with the possible exception of Hogfather, this one. Finally, a tortoise has learned how to fly.

Summary: No more snapper soup for me!
Review: I went into the bookstore looking, and hoping to find a new book by Douglas Adams. Nothing new, dissappointed and ready to leave a sales clerk stopped me and asked if I had read any Pratchett? I said, no. He said read this(Small Gods) and if you don't like me you can thwamp me with a tuna. YOu have got yourself a deal. I grabbed the book, and my towel and went to read. All I can really say about this book is WOW! Brutha is a new fantasy hero! He comes home from the Citadel's garden one day with a tortoise, whom talks to him. And a month later he is the next Prophet. Go figure! Give up snapper soup, it may be your god you eat next.

Summary: EXCELLENT!! READ THIS BOOK!! THE TURTLE MOVES!
Review: Having never read any of Terry Pratchett's work before, I have to admit that I was more than impressed with his novel, "Small Gods". Not only was it extremely entertaining, but it was also very thought provoking and the kind of book you have to read many times to catch all of the nuances and details, and to absorb the pure, satiric pleasure of it all. One of my favorite characters is the blind prophet Didactylos, who carries a "lantern that doesn't shine for a man that doesn't see" because it "works perfectly, and of course, is very philosophical". In my opinion, this not the "usual" fantasy novel in any way. It is an extremely smart, witty, entertaining, and intelligent read (for a book of ANY genre), and I will enthusiastically recommend it to anyone who asks! So do yourself a favor and READ THIS BOOK!

Summary: A wonderful read that's not just about a turtle.
Review: This is by far one of the most intellectual books I have ever read - and about a turtle god too! Reading between the lines will give the reader a surprising look at the peculiarities of our world while remaining a very interesting and funny read. Anyone interested in fantasy or humor will certainly enjoy all of the Discworld series and this is a wonderful introduction to those crazy characters

Summary: It was better than cats. I laughed, I ... laughed alot.
Review: I have to admit that I'm a picky reader - I haven't read much not by Anne McCaffrey in three years because when I start a series I finish it before I move on to the next. But this book was a welcome diversion. Not only that, but Pratchett writes like I think: stream of consciousness. The Turtle Moves, kids... and it definately moved me

Summary: Made me realize that Pratchett is the best writer alive
Review: Amazing; Pratchett romps with the old idea that gods derive substance from the faith of their believers. Such a simple idea, but Pratchett makes it sing. A god reduced to a the status of a turtle, who has only one beleiver, who is in turn, endangered by his belief while trapped inside a hypocritical Establisment that is devoted to the worship of that self same god.... Humor and satire layered like a fine pastry. This book rings like a bell
