| Absolutely loved this book. Like Haldin, I've always been interested in mythology, but I really liked the way Gaiman took sort of a unique spin with mixing all the mythologies together like this. His choice of protagonist was also a refreshing difference from a lot of the other books I've been reading lately.
Picked up Smoke and Mirrors and Anansi Boys a couple weeks ago. The latter is the sequel to American Gods for those that don't know. I haven't gotten around to reading it yet. Been reading the former here and there. In my opinion, it's sort of hit or miss with the stories. Some just drag on, and some are very intriguing ideas that would make good novels. Of course, with it covering more than 20 years of his writing, you can't expect them all to be winners. |
