American Gods: A Novel

Released from prison, Shadow finds his world turned upside down. His wife has been killed; a mysterious stranger offers him a job. But Mr. Wednesday, who knows more about Shadow than is possible, warns that a storm is coming -- a battle for the very soul of America . . . and they are in its direct path.

One of the most talked-about books of the new millennium, American Gods is a kaleidoscopic journey deep into myth and across an American landscape at once eerily familiar and utterly alien. It is, quite simply, a contemporary masterpiece.

3/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Feb-18-2009; Mixed Feelings; I had high expectations for "American Gods," yet I ended up feeling ambivalent, despite its historical and philosophical depth, in addition to the totally awesome title.
