Updated and expanded with the author's preferred text
A modern masterpiece from the multiple-award-winning master of innovative fiction Neil Gaiman
First published in 2001, American Gods became an instant classic, lauded for its brilliant synthesis of "mystery, satire, sex, horror, and poetic prose" (Washington Post) and as a modern phantasmagoria that "distills the essence of America" (Seattle Post-Intelligencer). It is the story of Shadow--released from prison just days after his wife and best friend are killed in an accident--who gets recruited to be bodyguard, driver, and errand boy for the enigmatic trickster Mr. Wednesday. So begins Shadow's dark and strange road trip, one that introduces him to a host of eccentric characters whose fates are mysteriously intertwined with his own. For beneath the placid surface of everyday life, a storm is brewing--an epic war for the very soul of America--and Shadow is standing squarely in its path.

Great book, wonderful read. Sad when I finished and there was no more to read.
The author has multiple credible allegations against him and if you read the book it will make sense why there isn't a single normal intimate scene. Several relationships between characters are abusive or predatory. Besides that, I lost interest about halfway through. He's probably overrated as a writer. I donated my copy. Someone else can read it without giving the author more money.
I wanted to read this before watching the series. It was average at best. Completely lost interest in watching the show now.
It's a real heady work. Philosophical and metaphorical and stuff.A great printing. Bound well, and the paper is really satisfying to the touch. Just rough enough to turn easily. I dunno how to review a book. Buy it if you like books.
Knows how to move a plot forward. WorthyOf your time.
