American Gods was a really interesting read for me I always
love this kinda of stuff. Modernizing something old like gods and bringing them
to America is cool idea, then adding our own “American Gods” and how we as a
new culture must too worship gods. I’m sure this is all some big metaphor, but
I don’t really want to get too much into it.
This
was one of my favorites of the course, I found every little thing about it be
interesting. Slowly feeding you bits of information as you join Shadow along
for the stories length. You learn as he does what is happening and the chaos that
slowly goes on over the course of the book. I also enjoyed the back and fourth
the sub characters like the succubus women sucking men she sleeps with into
her, the other one of these that stood out was the African gods section. It’s
nice too because there is some religious lore in there too much makes it nice
for people also interesting in learning mythologies of ancient cultures.I’ve never read another Neil Gaiman work, but I am interested in reading more. I’ve only ever heard outstanding things about Sandman. That would seems like the next logical place to go.
