From the Publisher

Shadow is a man with a past. But now he wants nothing more than to live a quiet life with his wife and stay out of trouble. Until he learns that she's been killed in a terrible accident.

Flying home for the funeral, as a violent storm rocks the plane, a strange man in the seat next to him introduces himself. The man calls himself Mr. Wednesday, and he knows more about Shadow than is possible.

He warns Shadow that a far bigger storm is coming. And from that moment on, nothing will ever he the same...

    Definitely worth the purchase 4

    I almost always appreciate Gaiman's works, and American Gods did not disapoint. Gaiman's unique mythology is perhaps almost wholly unoriginal, as it draws upon real world mythos, but no real world mythos is like Gaiman's. The blending of cultures and attitudes is truly masterful. It was interesting. While reading this, I was impatient for it to be done. This was of course not because I was impatient with it, but because I wanted to know all that the book had to offer. I'll definitely be… read more

    This review is from: American Gods (Audio Book (Cassette))

    This book was an amazing mix of modern times and the ancient gods, the twists are great, unexpected, but accepted by your mind as another element of the imagery, characters, and plot of this adventure. If you're like me and you like to think about things, understand the abstract, etc, philosophy, or crazy interesting topics, you'll love this book, and it'll certainly leave you sommething to think about. Fantasy/sci fi, and thought provoking, how can you ask for more? read more

    Is it Wednesday Again Already? 4

    10 months ago

    Shadow has been serving time for a while, and is thrilled to see his wife again as his release date approaches at last. Of course, things can’t go that easily especially when that’s the first sentence for the premise of the novel. Finally free and with nowhere left to go, Shadow finds himself chatting with a stranger on the plane home who offers him a job. He takes the work as the chauffeur and bodyguard of an old con artist with a glass eye who calls himself Wednesday. The job takes him to all… read more

    I, personally, adored this book. I loved the descriptive art Gaiman used throughout the story, whether he was describing a character or an atmosphere... he made you feel it. This is by far, one of the most intriguing, and fascinating books I have ever read, and I loved every minute of it. :)

    This is my favourite book, and its writer is my favourite author. Neil Gaiman's writing is thought-provoking and makes you really think about people, places, the world, etc., while carrying a great story. Read it, or else.

    Neil Gaiman certainly knows how to capture his audience. Even though the amount of information that is in this book and the many many references to the thousands of gods in our world, it was an absolute treat and I couldn't put the book down.
