Com Review American Gods better and most ambitious novel by Neil Gaiman, and yet a terrible story, strange, and hallucinogenic road trip wrapped around a detailed examination of the American spirit. Gaiman addresses everything from the attack of the information age, the meaning of death, but it does not sacrifice the razor-sharp action and storytelling, he has delivered since his Sandman days.

Perhaps the worst garbage I have ever read. The author claims that grown on CS Lewis and Tolkien are, and more like an opportunistic attempt to profit off JUWE the true talent of Lewis and Tolkien. The legacy of conflicts pitting ancient mythology with the modern American consumer and the surprising end Socalled shows deliberate lack of talent. I read just to see what the hype was all about, and realized that the village idiot, as this literature Socalled. People with a vocabulary that says “Dude” a lot or “totally rocks” much “or” fantastic “are the class of idiots who engage in this garbage. Such a person is a wimp, the bald rock and roll T-shirts and sports a shaven chin. Rating: 5.1
Start with a bizarre sex scene and is a collection of strange stories. 2/3rds traversed and plundered. What a waste of time. I read “State of Fear” br Michael Critcher. Much better to read. Some people seem to be the artsy shit like just because it affects people. Why? Waste of money – as I tried one author that I did not know what is good to go. But this is not Neil gay man again. Rating: 5.1
I’ve never read before Niel Gaiman recovery of this book. I do not plan to read it again later. The whole plot is pointless and absurd. The old gods are jealous of the new gods. Who cares! If you want to waste time reading bad books, then picked up by all means but not otherwise. Rating: 5.1
The book begins in the prison, and immediately kills the first character that comes from Nice – Women’s Shadow. He was released and went home. We of the great love she had told, but there are no emotions in this character whatsoever. The next character is eating a woman partner in the sexual act, as he loves her as a goddess. Frankly, I left soon after. This book does not turn my interest. I had hoped it would be uplifting to link to what the Americans with the deities of their own country. Instead, he began ugly and black, and I saw something to make me think he would improve. Very disappointing, as these friends have recommended as a must read. It is a work of fiction, of course, and it seemed in the nature of the books that take themselves too seriously, where the darkness is equal to some depth. Rating: 5.1
Granted, I read a few pages. The language is awkward, the descriptions of the agenda, and the characters are crazy. I’m a fan of Gaiman “Sandman” series, but this novel is simply childish. Rating: 5.1
