American Gods is a good read. Some people say it was a bit choppy and hard to follow, and at times it may have been. But its worth a little confusion at first when it all comes together in the end (well, not all at the end, sometimes its in the middle but you get the drift). Gaiman's development of how the 'birth' of Gods and how they live is an easy concept to grasp, even if he introduces a slew of characters like crazy. The give and take of this book was more give than take, and I recommend the read. Especially if you like mythology, because this book is nothing less than an enriching story of ancient mythology given a modern spin.
