Very heroic in sweep. World scaled very large. This is the first book in the series. I am a bit surprised that no film has been made of this - it definately has movie potential.

If you enjoyed the previous books that featured the guards, this shant disappoint.

Not going to give away anything other than this involves Death's granddaughter. Her character seems to grow a bit in this one. Enjoy.

Terry Pratchett's other books are a lot like well painted homes. There are several layers. "Small Gods" is like inviting over your friends to paint. There is one uneven coat of paint and they left masking tape on all of the edging in an unsuccessful attempt to miss it with their paintbrushes. The ending of the book (and middle and beginning too if truth be known) left me with the same vague feeling of dissatisfaction as when I realized that to get the place properly painted I would have to have another seperate group of friends and throw another 'paint party'.
