american gods

It’s not entirely fair for me to review this, as I got about a third of the way through and finally gave up. I borrowed it from the library, which usually forces me to race through a book, yet every time I picked up my nook, I searched for other stuff to read instead of continuing along. It felt like a chore.
Which is a shame, because I’ve had love for Gaiman since I read the Sandman graphic novels in college (and still have a set on my shelf).
I just couldn’t get invested in any way. And at page 160, I realized I was never going to get there. and there’s no point in spending the next two weeks that I’m entitled to keep it out of the library avoiding reading it. There are a dozen people on the waiting list, and I figure I’ll be considerate and just return the darn thing.
