American Gods

American Gods American Gods by Neil Gaiman


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book was delectable. What happens when a God is no longer worshiped? Where does all that human energy go? What does that human energy do to the God? The premise is that they walk among us, gods from all faiths, and they gain in strength according to those who follow them. In this book, the gods as we know them begin to battle with the modern gods of technology. Part sci-fi, part fantasy, part thriller, this book is wonderfully rendered in real life America. I knew many of the settings for the novel, especially the House on the Rock, which also added to my enjoyment of the novel. Highly recommended.
