Product Description

 
For the three years Shadow spent in prison, all he wanted was to get back to the loving arms of his wife and stay out of trouble for the rest of his life. But days before his release, he learns that his wife has been killed in an accident, and his world becomes a colder place.

On the plane ride home to the funeral, Shadow meets a man who calls himself Mr. Wednesday, a self-declared grifter, who offers Shadow a job. Shadow, a man with nothing to lose, accepts. But he soon learns that his role in Wednesday's schemes will be far more dangerous than he could have ever imagined.

American Gods is a dark and kaleidoscopic journey deep into myth and across an America at once eerily familiar and utterly alien. Magnificently told, American Gods is a work of literary magic that will haunt the listener long after it has been heard.

American Gods by Neil Gaiman

Date of Review:  Dec 18, 2002
The Bottom Line: Read this book to combine fantasy and travelogue, through the amazing and refreshing perspectives of Neil Gaiman. A whole new angle on belief and worship!
Review: Back in the early nineties I was bejoyed to discover the comic book series entitled "The Sandman" in which the myth of the sandman, bringer of dreams, had been thoughtfully re-invented and adapted into a comic book format for the philosophical adult...

Date of Review:  May 29, 2003
The Bottom Line: We will sacrifice the Bottom Line to the gods, that they might drink its blood and grow fat!
Review: The Christian right likes to claim that there s not nearly as much God in America as there should be, and that our faithlessness is directly to blame for many, if not all, of the ills of modern society. Nevermind separation of church and state,...

  Entertainment Weekly: "Gaiman's old fans will find it familiar but formidable, new readers will find it provocative but fun, and it bodes well for Gaiman's future that he's created a world where both can get along."
