American Gods: The Tenth Anniversary Edition: A Novel by Neil Gaiman
1.0
I was really let down by this book :( The concepts are amazing but then instead of a good story about how diffrent cultures that come to america and how they live and are preserved here even after many many years. But All I got was a overly complicated fantasy mess that didn't make sense and just felt pointless.. not to mention sooo long it made reading it agonizing!
Plus not to mention the many many many! Racists stereotypes. THeres so much in here where it definitely reads like an English man wrote it....
and of course obvious contempt for women. As not a single woman in this story had a main role nor did they have anything more to them then "attracted to shadow" or basically a housewife.
The last reason I rate this book so low is the bootlicking. "Good cop from a small town does no wrong" trope that never sat right with me. Especially at the start of the book it showed horrible cops being themselves so this surprised me. But I'm sure it's some type of "One bad apple ruins the bunch" type of thought process :/
