Book Review of Small Gods (Discworld, Bk 13)

Small Gods (Discworld, Bk 13)
reviewed My favorite book in the Discworld series on


This is my favorite book in the Discworld series. Although it is the 13th in the series, one need not have read the others to enjoy it, and it is not directly related to any of the other Discworld storylines.

Brutha, a devout monk of the Great God Om, meets his god in person, but the god is trapped in the body of a tortoise. He proceeds to quote scripture to Om, who denies most of what scripture says he said or did. Topics spoofed include ancient religions and the Spanish Inquisition. Small Gods is an absolute riot.
