This is a novel about Discworld, a fictional world Pratchett created and writes about in all his books. I haven't read any of his books before, so it was all new to me! Small Gods is about a young novice in the temple of Om who believes in the god with all his heart. As the only true believer in the god, Brutha the novice has a personal encounter with Om. This book tells about their experiences together.
I enjoyed this book. I found it interesting to read about a whole new world, even if I felt a little lost, since I hadn't read any of the previous books. Brutha is a sympathetic character who you'll cheer for as the book goes on. Pratchett is a good writer and his characters seem real in their unreal world.
This book is appropriate, although it has references to a great deal of torture in the name of religion.
It is worth the time it takes to read this book.
