Brutha has been chosen. His god, the great and powerful god Om, has spoken to him. Brutha is a simple lad, but, he's quite good at growing melons. Among other things, he wants peace, justice, and brotherly love. But what he wants, more than anything, is for his god to choose someone else.
"What the gods said was heard by each combatant in his own language, and according to his own understanding. It boiled down to: I. This is Not a Game. II. Here and Now, You are Alive. And then it was over." Good words to live by.
Klassischer Terry Pratchett. Überzeugt mit super Dialogen, charmanten und phantasievollen Charakteren und viel lustigen Gegebenheiten. Am Anfang kam ich etwas schwer rein und das Ende hat sich ein wenig gezogen, aber trotzdem war es in Summe ein tolles Buch mit - wie so oft bei seinen Büchern - prägenden Botschaften.
The turtle moves! Loved the book, Pratchett at his best!
Me, weeping just as hysterically as the first time I read this book.
