annemn 's review for:
American Gods
by Neil Gaiman
An absolutely fantastic (if long) read! I'd only read Gaiman's short stories before this - I liked most of them - but honestly didn't know how I'd handle a novel.
Well! Perhaps I'm a bit partial to an author who handles mythology so well across cultures, and gives such a beautifully dry sense of humor to his main character. Perhaps... Still, I am now an unabashed fan. Every time I worried that he had trundled off down some tangent too far, the path would loop back around and make a wholly applicable point. Each character had all three dimensions - and a fourth if I took the time to dive back into my mythological history books. Just wait until you meet Mr. Nancy...
Obviously, I could go on, but I'll leave it at this: Next time you find yourself looking for a long, fun, but intensely absorbing book, you might want to check this one out.
