Readers adore Small Gods:
''One of Pratchett´s best works, retelling what has happened, happens, and will happen as soon as faith goes mad, uncontrolled, and vicious, tries to expand its sphere of influence and doesn´t care about the foundations and rules, contradicting its own commandments'' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
''It makes you contemplate so many things. Beyond religion too. There were so many passages when I was musing "It''s like this thought has sprung out of my head but it''s written a hundred times better than I would have said it"'' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
''Pratchett creates a host of characters that represent people and our relationship with religion, done with thought and hope, a thoroughly laugh out loud experience'' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
''The book is never preachy (see what I did there? ;P) or boring. On the contrary, the mad romp through several hitherto unseen countries on the disc was delightful'' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
''Pratchett at his theological best'' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
''This extremely cleaver religious satire is one of the top Pratchett''s work as organized religion becomes target of his wit and cynicism'' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
''A true delight. Also, as I finished the book, I felt my cold go away . . . hallelujah for the curative properties of wonderful books'' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
