Reviews of American Gods
“Anybody who tells you that the book is about old and new gods, or about a man named Shadow, or about coin tricks, or about having one’s head smashed in for losing a game of checkers, is selling you a line, because those are just details, not the story itself.
Much like any Neil Gaiman story, the devil is in the details, and you just have to resolve yourself to coming along for the ride or you’ll miss it. It’s not one story, or two, it’s many, and it’s all complete…and you have to just read it, and enjoy it, and accept it. Or just don’t bother.
I might as well sell you a violin as sell this book to you, or pluck a synopsis of it from behind your ear and then deposit it in my hand, only to have it turn into a critical review while your attention is elsewhere. But I won’t, you’ll just have to find the magic yourself.“ (by David Monroe at goodreads.com)
