Review title: Really boring novel...
Product review: Having read several of the Sandman comics, I went into 'American Gods' expecting sharp, incisive wit or at least some degree of dark humor. Sadly, this book delivered neither. The central tenet of the story was interesting, but the basic plot device (i.e. gods mascarading as humans) seemed old after about 30 pages. After that the book was just plain boring. I agree with the other reviewers who said Neil Gaiman should stick to comics...
