Book Reviews of American Gods: A Novel

Book Review: "Believe everything." -Buffalo Man
Summary: 5 Stars

Just finished "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman. Great read.

And maybe it's a little ironic (or fitting?) that now I'm posting about it in a space built for the "new gods of credit card and freeway, of Internet and telephone, of radio and hospital and television, gods of plastic and of beeper and of neon."

It's a space that doesn't *really* exist--by it's nature, it's virtual, yet it's one that millions of people give their time to every day. It exists, has a purpose, (a life?), precisely because we give it those things.

That is the essence of "American Gods." It's a story about a man named Shadow and his part in the old gods' struggle to stay relevant in a world of changing ideas. It's a story that stays with you. Highly recommend.
