I just finished reading American Gods , perhaps the best-known novel by Neil Gaiman. English born in 1960, Gaiman is best known for being one of the fathers of Sandman, comic book series published from 1989 to 1996.
As Sandman, his novel in this live among men gods, gods, myths and legends. The story revolves around Shadow, strange man just out of prison he meets Wednesday, mysterious figure, and of course, not human. So slowly emerges from a war to the death of the old, brought to America by immigrants in many different eras, and the new ones, those of television, internet, money.
The novel is very nice, fast and easy to read, especially on the writing very dynamic and imaginative Gaiman. With a few words can create strong images, showing a good imagination. It 'friendly the characterization of the gods, disguised as humans, always forgotten by the people who once worshiped them, forced to do menial jobs. At the end
one gets the impression that you have read a very good adventure story, but not memorable, does not seem to leave much to think. The beginning is really beautiful and engaging, then you lose in the second half and closed at the end seems in a hurry. However fantstastico a good novel by an author with a great imagination.
