amshmobr 's review for:

American Gods by Neil Gaiman

4.0

---

I didn't expect more from this book than a good fantasy story based on a cool premise – and that's exactly what I found. I enjoyed recognizing or discovering the various gods, rooted for the main character, laughed, cringed, enjoyed the Coming to America and Lakeside stories in between...I wasn't convinced by all of the explanations offered for this crazy state of affairs but it didn't diminish my overall enjoyment of the book or my appreciation for how Gaiman managed to weave together so many different story elements into one rich tale.
