Although a bit longer than necessary, it's still good enough to merit 9 of 10 stars.

The easiest way to spread a lie, is to make one up, and have somebody tell it to another. Soon you can convince the world of this lie. Don't believe me - ask G.W Bush!

What happens to gods when their followers lose interest and eventually forget them? In this work of urban fantasy Neil Gaiman explores this idea, introducing the reader to Shadow, a man recently released from prison and who has learned his wife has just died. Beginning life again essentially from scratch, he agrees to begin working for a man named Wednesday. Wednesday is preparing for a coming battle between the ancient, traditional gods (himself, Anansi, Easter, Czernobog and Ibis, among others) who have been forgotten in favor of the new “gods” of the modern, industrialized world (technology, cities, etc.).
As the reader, I wanted to know a little more about the characters (the gods) and their stories and motivations. This was my first Gaiman experience and, while I highly enjoyed his writing style, I wasn’t completely in love with the story. I’d definitely read another of his works. posted Jul 7, 2008 at 8:57PM

An Englishman write the great American novel. Gaiman’s sens of humor shines throughout.
