Professional Reviews
|
| : |
New York Times Book Review: "[A] noirish sci-fi road trip novel in which the melting pot of the United States extends not merely to mortals but to a motley assortment of disgruntled gods and deities....This might all sound like a bit much. But Gaiman [has] a deft hand with the mythologies he tinkers with here; even better, he's a fine, droll storyteller." |

For the three years Shadow spent in prison, all he wanted was to get back to the loving arms of his wife and stay out of trouble for the rest of his life. But days before his release, he learns that his wife has been killed in an accident, and his world becomes a colder place.<P> On the plane ride home to the funeral, Shadow meets a man who calls himself Mr. Wednesday, a self-declared grifter, who offers Shadow a job. Shadow, a man with nothing to lose, accepts. But he soon learns that his role in Wednesday's schemes will be far more dangerous than he could have ever imagined.<P> <I>American Gods</I> is a dark and kaleidoscopic journey deep into myth and across an America at once eerily familiar and utterly alien. Magnificently told, <I>American Gods</I> is a work of literary magic that will haunt the listener long after it has been heard. |
