Review: American Gods

American Gods by Neil Gaiman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book so much I honestly never wanted it to end and was kind of devastated there wasn’t a sequel. There is literally no slow and dull parts in this book, every page seems to have its own story which is impressive for a book that’s as long as this one. I loved the stories of the old gods and the original coming to America stories. Some parts are very strange like the swallowing up of a person during sex or the agreeing to let a stranger cave in your head over a game of checkers but it all added to this brilliant dreamlike quality that the whole book had. I loved all the characters from Mad Sweeney and Wednesday and I really loved Shadow’s relationship with his dead wife. Which actually is as strange as it sounds. Five stars and definitely one of my favorite books ever.
