American Gods - Neil Gaiman
I didn't like this as much of Gaiman's other work because I prefer more humor, as in [book:Anansi Boys|373951]. That, and I know I didn't get half of what was going on.
***
Sixteen years on and I've now read everything Gaiman's written nearly, and I really loved it in a way I didn't before. I noticed more humor this time, and I was more swept up in the Epicness of it all. Also I was less bothered that I didn't recognize most of the gods. Not lighthearted, more melancholy really, but it felt more like Good Omens as well as a lot like Sandman. I'm curious to see the series now.
I handed it off to Veronica as soon as I'd finished. It seems like just the thing to wind up her IB career. She took to it right away.
