American Gods - Neil Gaiman
Neil Gaiman
I’ve been a Gaiman fan since I first met his work on Sandman comics back in the day. This is the second Gaiman novel I’ve read and I must say, not bad. Is it an all time classic, no. It is however an enjoyable read. Neil has a way of taking most topics and while keeping a serious tone, twist his own sense of humor in there. There were some twists that I didn’t see coming. I would recommend anyone reading this to study up on their mythology as there were a few characters, while probably acting in character, I just didn’t understand because I wasn’t familiar with their backstory. Overall not bad for a few nights read. 7/10

Hey Jay! I liked this book as well - now go read “Anansi Boys” as a followup. It isn’t a sequel, but it does follow a similar path, and is a great read itself.
