American Gods by Neil Gaiman

What a different, yet awesome book! Seriously, I had no clue what I was getting into with this book. I saw it at the library, and I had seen online that it was pretty good, and I knew Neil Gaiman was special, so I picked it up. My only other Gaiman experience (well that sounds a little odd…) was when I read The Graveyard Book three years ago. I really loved it, but unfortunately, people in my class hated it, so we didn’t do any assignments on it. I’ve also seen Coraline the movie, but that’s not quite the same thing. So I knew that Gaiman’s works were different, and reading the 10th Anniversary edition introduction, I could see from the varied awards it had one, that the book didn’t quite fit a specific genre. Which excited me, and I was not disappointed.
