'Just because you can't explain it, doesn't mean it's a miracle.'

In the beginning was the Word. And the Word was: 'Hey, you!' This is the Discworld, after all, and religion is a controversial business. Everyone has their own opinion, and indeed their own gods, of every shape and size, and all elbowing for space at the top. In such a competitive environment, shape and size can be pretty crucial to make one's presence felt. So it's certainly not helpful to be reduced to appearing in the form of a tortoise, a manifestation far below god-like status in anyone's book.

In such instances, you need an acolyte, and fast: for the Great God Om, Brutha the novice is the Chosen One – or at least the only One available. He wants peace and justice and brotherly love. He also wants the Inquisition to stop torturing him now, please...

4.5 (Muito bom)

Uma sátira filosófica

Minha primeira leitura de Terry Pratchett, e como foi? Muito boa!

Enquanto a obra tem um tom de humor, a mesma também demonstra assuntos sérios como a fé e o que ela causa nos níveis mais profundos do comportamento humano.

Leitura altamente recomendada.
