Book Reviews of American Gods: A Novel
Book Review: Pure joy
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a book that I could barely put down since I received it. It was well worth the wait.Some themes are recurring in Neil Gaiman's writtings. One of them is the destiny of the forgotten gods, the ones that were widely revered and now are barely an entry in a dusty encyclopedia. And how these beings would cope with our changing world.
American Gods is pure joy. Gaiman makes us care about his characters as few others can. They unfold and develop under our eyes. As a master craftman, the twists and knots in the plot are not abrupt: the hints were there all along, if you have eyes to see, building up to the climax.
It is very difficult to review the book without giving the plot away, so my recommendation is for everybody that likes his previous books, and anybody that likes well written prose, or who thinks that fantasy books don't have to be placed in a far away place and time, but living and breathing alongside our world.
