ReimarHeider@wyrms.de reviewed American Gods Volume 3 by Neil Gaiman
The Best
The third volume is clearly the best. Much recommended.
Hardcover, 224 pages
Published June 9, 2020 by Dark Horse Books.
The third volume is clearly the best. Much recommended.
Listened to the audiobook version of the 10th anniversary edition, which is labeled the "Author's Preferred Text" and is supposedly longer than the original, and the voice acting was excellent! The story itself was really interesting and was definitely the kind of concept I enjoy to no end. The way Gaiman weaves the gods into everyday life was wonderful, and the descriptions of the supernatural were just as difficult to follow and interesting as they should be.
The only things I didn't like were the supernatural sex scenes. I don't like sex scenes in books very much (especially audiobooks) because I don't really want someone to describe it to me—too uncomfortable. Other than that, though, this story was super interesting and exciting! But I will say that I enjoyed Anansi Boys (Gaiman's other book following the same sort of concept on a smaller scale) much more. American Gods: super interesting …
