Review title: Reads Like a First Draft
Product review: This book is derivative and meandering. The idea that human belief literally creates and sustains deities is not original. Gaiman's uses this idea in an ambitious attempt to write a fantasy novel that is also a detailed commentary on the role of belief and values in American life. While he deserves credit for trying hard, this book is not very succesful. The quality of writing, including plotting, characterization, and satire, is mediocre. Gaiman's social commentary is conventional. The idea is good and with considerable editing and rewriting, this could have been a decent book.
