- Book Synopsis
- A stunning graphic novel adaptation of Sir Terry Pratchett's bestselling standalone Discworld novel Small Gods. Beautifully brought to life by illustrator Ray Friesen, it takes a close look at religion's institutions, its people, its practices and its role in politics in Pratchett's unique way... 'An intriguing satire on institutionalized religion corrupted by power' Independent 'Deftly weaves themes of forgiveness, belief and spiritual regeneration' The Times ---- 'You should do things because they're right. Not because gods say so. They might say something different another time.' 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. So when the great god Om accidentally manifests himself as a lowly tortoise, stripped of all divine power, it's clear he's become less important than he realised. In such instances, you need an acolyte, and fast. Enter Brutha, the Chosen One - or at least the only One available. He wants peace, justice and love - but that's hard to achieve in a world where religion means power, and corruption reigns supreme... ---- 'I loved this book. I wish it could go on and on and on because it was so enjoyable to read. I wish more books are like this one' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Reader review 'A modern masterpiece of storytelling and art' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Reader review 'An absolute must' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Reader review 'So much fun! They really bring the characters to life' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Reader review
