A review by sammyisobsessed24
American Gods by Neil Gaiman

4.0

An expansive, meandering, strange and absurd road trip. Though there is a war in this book, this is not a story about a war. It's about life and death, love and loss, the journey to somewhere new, and, of course, the Gods. Though it can drag at times, I thoroughly enjoyed American Gods, and I'm glad I read it. Shadow is a wonderful protagonist who I easily connected to and wanted to succeed. The complex, messy relationships between these characters are incredibly engaging. I know this is often considered one of Gaiman's masterpieces, and I can see why.
