One of the best books i have picked up !

I picked up this book after eying it twice. It was a large book so it was prefect for work( btw i sit at work for 11 hours straight, so i read....alot)

I am so glad I picked up this book. It's not the style of books I normal go for, but i couldn't put this book down. This is a great book, I think everyone should read this!


Gods of Old vs. Gods of New

Neil Gaiman, definetly this is by far his best work. I first read Anansi Boys, later I discovered that AB was a sequel to American Gods. No worries, the one who said that didn't read the books at all. Yes, both books share one particular character, but that's it. American Gods is original and dark. Gods of the new hunting and killing the old and long forgotten gods of the earth. Shadow, freshly out of jail, returns home to find out that his beloved wife died in a car crash (and what a crash it was) - of course, now she is a walking/talking corpse that re-appears to help our friend Shadow during his "quest?".

Somewhere down the road, specifically in a bar, Shadowis hired by an unusual man....for an unusual tasks, as a bodyguard of some sort. From there everything changes in this repented man. A true rollercoaster of dark humor, odd situations and some thrilling moments.

American Gods it's a well crafted novel. Hope Gaiman keeps on writting more dark humour + fantasy with some horror to it.

This one is a keeper.

American Gods

This book/author is amazing!! He weaves an intricate, spooky, thought provoking page-turner unlike anyone else I've ever read. I'm hooked. I'm now reading "Fragile Things".

Released from prison, Shadow finds his world turned upside down. His wife has been killed; a mysterious stranger offers him a job. But Mr. Wednesday, who knows more about Shadow than is possible, warns that a storm is coming -- a battle for the very soul of America . . . and they are in its direct path.

One of the most talked-about books of the new millennium, American Gods is a kaleidoscopic journey deep into myth and across an American landscape at once eerily familiar and utterly alien. It is, quite simply, a contemporary masterpiece.
