A review by dragonrider29
American Gods by Neil Gaiman

5.0

On a second reading of American Gods it has become clear to me that whilst the plot is original, fascinating and utterly marvellous it is the sheer brilliance of Gaiman's prose that makes me give it 5 stars. The joy of the book is in the art of the storytelling and Gaiman is a true master, filled with luminous passages that I have found myself re-reading and re-reading, and elequent quotes that just get to the heart of that matter. This is a book to treasure and savour like a fine wine or a luxurious box of chocolates.
