American Gods is Neil Gaiman's best and most ambitious novel yet, a scary, strange, and hallucinogenic road-trip story wrapped around a deep examination of the American spirit. -- Amazon.com

"Mystery, satire, sex, horror, poetic prose -- AMERICAN GODS uses all these to keep the reader turning the pages." -- Michael Dirda, The Washington Post

"A crackerjack suspense yarn . . . juicily original . . . Wagnerian noir." -- Salon.com

". . . By turns thoughtful, hilarious, disturbing, uplifting, horrifying and enjoyable -- and sometimes all at once." -- St. Louis Post-Dispatch
