This should be easy to review because I liked it but its so hard to describe it all without just reading it. Epic, long but good. There were disturbing moments, funny ones, and even a few moments of realization. There's so many little details that end up making sense or play off each other. According to the back cover, the book is about a journey across America, and the gods that have been brought over with people along the way, but that's not really an adequate accurate plot summary. It's not about Wednesday or Shadow, more than likely its about change over time in belief. And despite his....well, shenanigans, I did like Wednesday as a character. Just listen to the buffalo-headed man.
