    I really enjoyed so much about this book, on many different levels - the references to the gods of many different beliefs (and the ways those gods were worshiped and in some cases how they came to be), having those same gods take on very appropriate human disguises, using nomenclature for the modern gods that brings Pilgrims Progress to mind. I think this is one of the only books I have read where the protagonist dies 2/3 of the way through the work. I enjoyed that the story took place in many locations I was extremely familiar with and was astonished when I found out that the author lives in Ireland - he has his middle America down so well (as well as his American voice). The book is well written and paced. Both the dialog and characters are memorable. This is my first Neil Gaiman book, but definitely not my last.

    Yay! I finally had some time to finish it! My reading time was so sporadic while I was at school, so I think I did myself a disservice with this book. I did quite like this book, but there was so much gap between reading sessions that I found myself not remembering details that I should have and then I had a sense of not connecting properly with the characters. I do highly recommend it to others, though, as well as it's wonderful follow-up, Anansi Boys.
