'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.
