What Amazon says:
Released from prison, Shadow finds his world turned upside down. His wife has been killed; a stranger offers him a job and Shadow, with nothing to lose, accepts. But a storm is coming. Beneath the placid surface of everyday life, a war is being fought - and the prize is the very soul of America. An inspired combination of mythology, adventure, and illusion, American Gods is a dark and kaleidoscopic journey deep into myth and across an America at once eerily familiar and utterly alien. It is, quite simply, a contemporary masterpiece.
This was a good book. It is LONG. I listened to it and it was 20 hours of listening. I love Neil Gaiman's books. He builds incredible worlds. I liked a lot of the characters - especially the main character. It is imaginative and the story flows well. There are a lot of characters and I had to make sure I was listening to the book when I could really be listening. No fluff here. I did have a few remaining questions, but not a lot. Overall a good read.
