It’s been a while since I read a terrible book, the kind where I have to stop reading because the author just wrote something so asinine. I can’t believe this is the same author of Stardust. Both books are trying something similar by playing on folklore, only Stardust gets it, and American Gods just...

I’m really bad at rating books, but a 5-star book is DEFINITELY anything that forced me to sit and re-evaluate my life afterwards. In which case, American Gods is at the absolute top of my list of 5-Star books. Although maybe that was also because I finished reading it on an airplane, as I was comin...

4/5 stars This book was an adventure, filled with so much going on at once it took me much longer than the average book to get through. It’s a book riddled with crazy characters, humorous dialogue, and surprises that were well thought out by Gaiman. It’s one of those books where I felt rewarded in t...

This is one of these stories that you just have to like. Either you love it or you hate it, or you find it boring. Personally, I really liked it but I can see where the negative reviews come from because some aspects of this book were just really weird. I mean, a vagina that swallows men? Really?How...

I stopped on page 108. This book breaks basic writing principles that I can't ignore. One, write about characters that readers will care about. Two, keep the story moving forward so that the reader will want to know what happens next. He fails at both of these basic rules, but somehow he still man...

This one's a true winner. What an epic, glorious, wonderful trip through the world of the gods, both past and new. This is the type of book that you can read over and over again, each time realizing different aspects contained within the main story. I've read other reviews saying this is a great ...

This was one of the strangest novels I’ve ever read. And it really resonated with me. American Gods is a fantasy. Sort of. A murder mystery romance. Sort of. Frankly, it doesn’t really belong to any category. That's what's so exciting about it.It begins with Shadow, an imprisoned convict, who learns...

(kicsi spoiler, nem vészes, nem tudsz meg semmi olyat ami elrontaná az olvasás élményét) Azt hiszem itt az ideje, hogy elkezdjem végre lejegyezni a benyomásaimat a könyvekről, amiket elolvastam. Kezdem is a legutóbbival. Neil Gaiman-től ez az első könyv, amit elolvastam (na jó nem, most jöttem rá,...

Mr. Shadow got out of a prison. He met with a Mr. Wednesday. From there on, their business started. Wednesday was not a pure human. He was a god-like creature in a human body. Shadow worked for him as an errand boy. He protected him, did muddy work. He grieved very much when he found out that his wi...
