Description

From 1 New York Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman, a contemporary masterpiece combing mythology, adventure, and illusion―one of ten classic Gaiman works repackaged with elegant original watercolor art by acclaimed artist Henry Sene YeeReleased from prison, Shadow finds his world turned upside down. His wife has been killed; a stranger offers him a job and Shadow, with nothing to lose, accepts. But a storm is coming. Beneath the placid surface of everyday life, a war is being fought – and the prize is the very soul of America.An inspired combination of mythology, adventure, and illusion, American Gods is a dark and kaleidoscopic journey deep into myth and across an America at once eerily familiar and utterly alien. It is, quite simply, a contemporary masterpiece.“Piercingly observed, jaggedly poetic, ruthlessly cutting a path through graveyards of dead stars and dead money and dead feelings, this novel is the map back to dawn.” — Steve Erickson“American Gods manages to reinvent, and reassert, the enduring importance of fantastic literature itself in this late age of the world. Dark fun, and nourishing to the soul.” — Michael Chabon Read more

  • Thinky
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.

  • My favorite Neil Gaiman book
Gaiman’s idea for this story is wholly original and brilliantly executed. I don’t want to wreck the surprise so just read other’s synopses if you like. The book is ten times better than the tv series based on it. Just read it. Gaiman is one of the most imaginative writers working today. Enjoy!

  • Great book
I hadn’t read this in about 10 years and remembered really liking it, so I ordered it to revisit the book. It is a GREAT read, very engaging. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because of what looks like a problem in the printing process on page 143 (shown in picture).

  • Riveting
American Gods is an exquisite take on religion without being religious. It plays the old gods against the "new gods" pointing out humanity's transition of beliefs in a riveting way. The characters are well thought out and described beautifully. If you watched the television series and picked up the book because of how the series ended, there are some major discrepancies, but do not let them stop you from reading the book in its entirety, as you will want to see how it ends. ... show more
