Most popular authors are overrated to someone. I find Stephen King to be overrated, no matter how much my friends howl at me that he is the most awesome. I know people that hate Pratchett, which I cannot understand. It's the great thing about books, they come in LOTS of different flavors by LOTS of different authors.

American Gods was probably my least favorite of his books, but I still enjoyed it. Honestly, my first love will always be his comics anyway. Sandman was and still is one of my favorite series ever. I find new things every time I read it, even if it's just something new to research. (the geek in me)

I think Gaiman has his status for several reasons. 1) He helped drag masses of adults in to seeing that comics are not just for kids. this is still argued/debated, but for many he was the first experience at reading comics as non-superhero. I'm not saying he invented the genre, it was there forever, but he helped make it more accessible to mainstream - for Good or Ill. Debate as you will.

2) Gaiman is very open and responsive to his fans in many ways. His Twitter account is a great way to get questions answered, and he actually responds - which can be exciting to many fans. He talks to his fans after book readings and signs. He seems to actually want to hear how fans respond to his writings, even if it is not how he meant it.

3) He understands that fans will interpret how they will, and does not demand, as some creators do, that fans can only define things as the writer/creator wishes.

4) He is actually a really nice guy.

Wow, I sound like a major fangirl. Not really what I meant, but whatever.

Yeah, I went to an event where he was interviewed and read from American Gods and he is extremely nice and funny.
