American Goods
Posted by Felix Enescu on August 25th, 2006
My first Gaiman read. What a mix! Egyptian cat goddess Bast, the Irish god Mad Sweeney, and the Slavic god of darkness and death, Czernobog mixed together with modern gods like TV, Malls, the Internet…
The book is a snapshot of American soul more than a science-fiction book.
American Gods is a book you either love or hate it. I looked at Amazon reviews: not many mild ones. Reviewers praise it or flame it.
Anyway, not what I was expecting from a Hugo and Nebula winner.
