Review title: Simply great
Product review: Many people will overlook this book only because it is in the fantasy genre section of the store or library. And they will miss a lot. With many fantastic elements and a fantastic plot premise, the book rightly belongs there, but it is also great fiction.As the main character Shadow is getting out of prison, he suddenly finds himself the assistant of a strange man, surrounded by strange associates. His boss, Wednesday, is mobilizing his associates for a fight against the modern idols. Struggle for power, love, betrayal, loyalty--the book has everything.Many reviewers compared American Gods to Terry Pratchett's Small Gods. And obviously Gaiman and Pratchett have cooperated onm the book (Pratchett is mentioned in the acknowledgements). However, what the book reminded me a lot of is The Master and Margarita, another great novel about religion, love and man's mission.
