Week Thirteen: American Gods
Since I had finished the disturbingly bad book so quickly, I had more time to read something longer and something much MUCH better.
Definitely a good read and recommended, even though it's a bit hard to follow as reality bends and twists to encompass ideas over plot, and metamorphosis over reality.
Full of heavy imagery and occasionally challenging to get through, the shocks and sudden lurches in plot, violence and character all work. It feels like 5 books in one, a journey, a mystery, a scam, a legend and a memoir all within the realm of fiction, fantasy and excellent writing.
Worth the effort. Been on my list, started twice before and never got round to getting past the first 100 pages, glad I did finally.
