noel_b 's review for:
American Gods
by Neil Gaiman
adventurous
dark
mysterious
Honestly a wasted opportunity of a book. It had all the ingredients, but Gaiman could not commit to saying anything more profound that "people these days worship money, man." It's a book that flinches from actually examining its own subjects and it's a shame, because the concept had legs.
Gaiman has a writer's eye and an immigrant's perspective, when he actually describes the US, he hits the bull's eye every time. But he's also too cowardly or too lazy to go beyond the surface and it just kills the book.

there's a weird sex scene with a cat-godess that's more on the feline side than the human side and it's also clearly Gaiman writing every woman as horny for the main character for no reason
Like, it's just annoying
