Review title: One star because the last 400 pages were a HUGE letdown
Product review: I don't want to go into too much detail due to the vast number of reviews but this book started out as a real page turner and turned into a real fight just to finish...SPOILERS!1) Gaiman craps on Norse mythology.Yah, Thor shooting himself in the head is going to happen. I'm sorry but you have to be respectful about established "characters" and Odin, the all-father, as a double dealing scumbag? Give me a break.2) Who do you root for?Shadow is painfully boring. Laura is a cheating skank. Both sides in the "war" are painfully uninteresting. I wanted them all to just go away by the end of the book.3) Needs an editor.Why did we need like a hundred pages of Shadow settling in Lakewood (Lakeside?) with no payoff for those pages?etc...etc...etc.. (I could go on and on)...I think Gaiman wrote the first two hundred pages in a fit of creativity and had no idea where to go from there...and it shows.
