A review by jimutt
American Gods by Neil Gaiman
4.0
I did not have any expectations set when picking up this read, and to be honest the writing style did not convince me. The first parts of the plot did not impress me either. Yet I was still intrigued by something, which fortunately kept me going. After reaching about 1/3 of the book I started to get an idea about the direction it was heading in and the ambitiousness of the book was beginning to show.
After finishing the book I'm still a bit puzzled about how to rate it. But since it definitely managed to pull me in and keep me interested — while delivering a thought-provoking, dark but still somewhat cosy storyline and general setting — it definitely deserves a good score. I also think it's a book that would stand the test of a second read through pretty well.
