Review title: Original, Nice Execution, Quirky Writing
Product review: This is an enjoyable book that crosses back and forth over the line between reality and "this couldn't possibly be true...but is." The cultural observations are astute if not acerbic and the "gods" with their ordinaryness and powers are excellently. The author excels in sustaining suspicion throughout the novel as we wonder if what we dare think could be true really is. This is a tale that shimmers just beneath the surface where most of the action lies.The only problem is the main character. He never becomes as real as the other characters, perhaps due to his utterly boring persona. Still, the story of Americans who just happened to be ancient gods who play scrabble, bowl and argue is captivating. The earth-shaking finale has parallels with many others - Buffy the Vampire, Mortal Combat, X-Men - all, by the way, as American as apple pie.
