Book Reviews of American Gods: A Novel

Book Review: Gaiman artfully merges mythology and naturalism
Summary: 5 Stars

In the spirit of Roger Zelazny and even James Joyce, Neil Gaiman's American Gods combines elements of mythology with an almost naturalistic portrayal of American values in a stunning and absorbing novel. From the gods of the Norse pantheon to spirits of Native American deities, the history and development of American values is presented in a suspenseful, entertaining and thought-provoking manner. At the same time, the development and revelation of character, especially of the main protagonist Shadow and his wife Laura, is captivating and rewarding. This is an outstanding book that will stand re-reading often.
