An amazing trip from start to finish.
Ryan W. - 1 year 6 months agoIn American Gods, Neil Gaiman takes the reader on such an interesting journey across America. It's old world gods against new world gods, and our poor protagonist is caught in the middle. I could go on and on about how amazing this book is, but what really makes this book special is that all of the locations in the book are real places. No matter how wacky or absurd these places sound, they are in fact real places.

Old Gods VS New Gods
Marrong T. - 4 years 1 month agoThe concept of old gods from various world mythologies trying to keep their hold of people's belief versus new gods that people don't think about but use and interact with everyday is pretty amazing. New gods being TV, Cellular phones, basically Technology in general. The central character, Shadow Moon, getting caught up in the middle of this war and the various gods (old and new) vying for his soul makes for an interesting read.

Poetic and keeps you pulled in
Meghan Z. - 5 years 7 months agoSpanning time and cultures, this story is poetic, tragic, and edgy. It keeps you pulled in with masterful descriptions and references to ancient and modern gods. #SpringPicks

Wonderful page turner!
Jonathan T. - 5 years 7 months agoThis was a very well written piece by Neil. I enjoyed the backgrounds that were developed for the characters, and additionally the multiple story lines that were developed. The attention to detail was fantastic and a lot of the story was set in the Midwest in places that I've been before, so that was nice to see. Behold the power of belief!
