Microreview: American Gods

American GodsAmerican Gods by Neil Gaiman

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This book starts slowly and is initially confusing until you accept the logic of the world Gaiman has created. It is an epic journey through the spiritual history of America's various ethnic groups as seen by an ex-con who gets caught up in a scheme of which he's completely unaware. As he gradually begins to understand, and we along with him, the story grows more complicated and satisfying. There are plenty of surprises, including gods who can die and dead people who can come back to life.
