American Gods

[Hugh_Bristic]

I began reading this a few days ago because it came highly recommended, both by people from the boards and on the outside. Truth to tell, each passing page is a constant reminder why I don't read "contemporary" literature. Perhaps I'm not trained in the subtleties of Gaiman and should've started with Sandman or Coraline or Neverwhere; maybe then I would appreciate it. But as it stands, I feel like I'm trapped in a young director's debut, low-cost soft porn flick who got rejected from Sundance.

Maybe, just maybe, I expected too much from main characters, Shadow and Wednesday... *bow-chicky-bow-wow*
