I really enjoyed reading all the different stories about the Norse Gods. Most of them of course involve Loki (who doesn't love a good Loki Story?). Gaiman told these stories so well that once you start you won't want to stop. Also if you get the audiobook it is read by Neil Gaiman himself.
HPB Staff ReviewThis book is great! Neil Gaiman was able to take pieces of ancient stories and combine them in a logical way to make sense of Norse Mythology. He introduces the readers to the history behind the gods while telling intriguing tales of their triumphs and their failures. For someone like me, a lay person of Norse Mythology, I could understand and follow the stories and actually make sense of the movements of the worlds. I did not know what to expect when I picked it up. Then I couldn't let it go. I read it in one sitting. It is an easy and exciting read with enough entertainment to keep my interest! It was nice to read about the myths that "don't make the comics". I can see myself sharing the stories in this book around a campfire or on a night when the power is out. An instant favorite for me.
HPB Staff ReviewI love Neil's writing and the way he describes things in this book, especially how he often foreshadows the mythical event called 'Ragnarok". #SummerReading
I love to hear people re-tell these ancient stories in their own words. Who better than one of my favorite authors? Gaiman does a great job telling some of his favorite stories from The Norse pantheon. I decided that I had to have my own copy after borrowing One multiple times. It’s definitely worth a read if you’re into these sorts of stories.
Nicely put together by Neil Gaiman. Can easily be read in one sitting. Beautifully articulated look at classic Norse Mythology. Must read for any fans of Gaiman or the subject matter.
