| Re: American Gods
i've probably read ng before, but nothing has stuck. i picked up a copy of american gods from the library and enjoyed every page. for me the ending? (any of them) wasn't a problem. in fact a bit of a relief from the 'hero's save the day, old vs new' theme so prevelant in much fantasy work. although shadow's parentage was a little lame (why can't the 'hero' ever just be ordinary), it didn't spoil the story.
for me, most of the little stories married within the context of the bigger picture, with the notable exception of the kobold. that seemed like a bit of a cop out - although i did still enjoy the book. |
