I started this book previously and couldn't finish it. I have no idea why. It's so fantastic.

Shadow begins our story as a convict and before we know it, he's a pawn of the gods. The gods have come from everywhere to America, and the storm is coming. Wednesday, the man he is working for, is beckoning the older gods to join him in battle for who will finally win.

This story had so many delightful twists and turns, and it's definitely Gaiman at his finest. I can't imagine the amount of research he did, and now I want to go to all of these places. I love the way he captured the essence of the gods, and I loved the way his writing almost seemed apocalyptic at times. Really, I just loved everything about this book. It's definitely on my top ten or twenty favourites!
