This book is a satire on all things faith, and is hilariously, hilaroiusly funny. Working from the premise that gods derive their power from the extents of human belief, Pratchett, to great effect, explores religion, philosophy, and their impact on society.
When the Great God Om returns to the Discworld to wreak some havoc on humanity, he finds himself reduced in stature and power to the form of a tortoise. Eventually, Om connects with Brutha, his one remaining true follower (and the source of Om's power), and together, the two of them set out to change the world.
This book is thought-provoking, funny, insightful and irreverent. Definitely recommended.
