American Gods
by Neil Gaiman
Narrated by a Full Cast
this book was a very interesting idea of who and what gods in America are, beings that come into existence and are nourished and kept alive by people's belief in them and what happens as they are forgotten about. The main character Shadow is just out of prison when he is approached by Wednesday about a job, in which he is asked to do some strange things and finds himself in the middle of a battle between the old gods and the new ones.
The story has a good interesting plot that is curious and unpredictable. Neil Gaiman has a unique imagination and has pushed it to create the world of these gods.
I really enjoyed the 'coming to America' stories about how the gods first show up in North America they were particularly interesting.
As you can expect with a full cast the narration was dynamic expressive and fitting to every character. I mean really what can you say when they decided to do a full cast.
there are some very graphic scenes in this book, both sexual and physical, and i would have liked to know that before going into the book myself, but they are often fairly short and I would say they at least contribute somewhat to the story.
