Neil Gaiman
American Gods takes the reader on a fantastical journey as we discover the quirky side of America together with the main character, Shadow, who is on his own personal quest.
Gaiman said he wanted to write a book that is 'big odd and meandering' - and it is!
We enter a world of coin tricks and con tricks, of roadside attractions, familiar places and mysterious small towns. A world where modern and ancient gods are moving towards a battle of epic proportions.
One character says 'It is easier to believe in aliens than gods' and in this novel, the everyday and the unbelievable sit side by side. Our beliefs are questioned and challenged right through to the climax - with a twist at the end.
