A review by readingwithstardust
American Gods by Neil Gaiman

I've had this book on my shelf for the better part of 10 years.  Bad Time to finally get around to reading it but I needed to know before I decide if I'm going to purge my small collection of his books on principle.  I'm almost grateful the allegations came out before I read it so I could keep an appropriate distance, because unfortunately this book was very to my taste.  The only Gaiman book I had liked better than this on first read was Neverwhere (Sandman notwithstanding).

That said, the recent exposure of Gaiman's personal actions definitely colored my reading of.. literally every female character in this book.. in a way I almost definitely wouldn't have picked up on had I read it when I bought it so long ago, which made for a fair bit of necessary discomfort.
