Review title: Brilliant invention of an American mythology
Product review: Neil Gaiman is a treasure, and everything he does is worth a look, but this is his greatest work. A tale of an America where the gods and folk traditions of other lands are brought to our country as part of the immigrant experience, American Gods sees a world of Gods and sacrifice in the everyday experience of our lives. While the plot tells the story of a conflict between the new gods of technology and the old gods of tradition, the most powerful parts (which can be read almost like short stories) describe the harrowing tales of immigrants, slaves and raiders who came to this country still in need of the help of gods of their forefathers (and mothers) and who are willing to trade important things for their survival. Exceptionally clever, dark, funny and moving, I can't recommend this book highly enough. Oh, and it will soon be a series on HBO, so read it before actors become too associated with these amazing characters.
