Quite hard to recollect all the data because of the thickness of it and its number of characters.

Excellent fantasy epic about a war between the gods brought over by immigrants vs the new gods of technology and modernity. Gaiman has a very good feel for America and its ways for a Brit.

I really really liked this book. It was very excitting and intriguing. Make me want to go and learn about every obscure god that Gaiman bring up in the book. Proves again why Gaiman is one of my favorite authors.

I had this idea years ago and was too lazy/busy to ever finish it. Then I found this story and realized someone had done it infinitely better.

The old gods of the old pantheons face of against the new gods in AMerica and our hero, Shadow, is stuck in the middle. It's Odin vs. the Internet in a battle cosmic. The idea is that not only people migrated to America, but the gods they worshipped got shipped over to. Once here they were abandoned and no one paid attention to them any more. The new gods of America are the personifcation of the internet, cars, airplanes and TV. SHadow our hero get released from jail and gets dragged into a showdow between the two sides. Gaimen writing always make my brain feel liked it was used in a different way. His lead characters are always fun and sympathetic, but his supporting characters make you feel violated at times. They are vulger, profane and some time likeable. The world they exist in seems just slightly out of joint with the real world. Close but like a nyguil dream. There are some parts that are offencive. If I was a muslim I would have been really bothered by one part. There was some talk about Jesus that a christian would find wrong. But, if your prepared for that you can skip it and loss nothing. It's a great read and a imagrents view of America. An imagrent god that is.
