basicbookgirl 's review for:

Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman
4.75
funny informative medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Funny, entertaining retellings that make Norse myths accessible and fun. Gaiman adds depth beyond the heroic Marvel versions, taking the myths down a notch from hyper-masculine appropriations of the right. Beautifully read by the author.
