American Gods
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.
4.5 StarsI really enjoyed this book. It was a complete page-turner and surreal, bizarre, crazy-out-of-this-world masterpiece. It was sometimes hard to follow, but I think if I read it again, I would get everything pretty easily. The storyline is a great mix of predictability and blind-siding story twists. The main character is likable enough, and the characters around him are unique and memorable. It really is an insane and incredible journey through the world of an underground society of gods, godesses, and demigods. I loved it because it brought all the gods from different religions together into one novel, making their survival dependent on those who worship them - so awesome. Read it, it's great.
The Final Verdict: A Novel Novel!
