An enjoyable read but felt a bit hollow (a bit like Shadow), perhaps bc it's harder for it to keep in frame the spirit of America that perhaps it captured 20 years ago but also I never quite felt like there was much to be said of America in present day, so much as it had to say about what we left behind. Even then, I'm not so sure you can use the gods to explain that without also showing us more of the people who did the leaving behind.
