American Gods

After three years in prison, Shadow has done his time. But as the time until his release ticks away, he can feel a storm brewing. Two days before he gets out, his wife Laura dies in a mysterious car crash, in adulterous circumstances. Dazed, Shadow travels home, only to encounter the bizarre Mr Wednesday claiming to be a refugee from a distant war, a former god and the king of America. Together they embark on a very strange journey across the States, along the way solving the murders which have occurred every winter in one small American town. But the storm is about to break...Disturbing, gripping and profoundly strange, Gaiman's epic novel sees him on the road to the heart of America. Includes extra material exclusive to Headline Review's edition

    American Gods

    A big, mythical road-story about old gods, new gods and a man stuck in the middle. Shadow has just gotten out of prison to find his wife dead and his job gone. He is hired as a man Friday for an old Norse god preparing for a war. This book is a real page turner with great cgaracters and many twists and turns.

    Utterly compelling and a joy to read

    This beautifully executed novel is not just a feast but a 14 course banquet with cheese and nibbles for afters! Shadow becomes embroiled in a supernatural war between the old gods such as Odin & Cybele and the new gods of television, internet etc. This book kept me transfixed throughout.
