ayrt all of you replied to with "I like mythology but didn't like American Gods!" -- I honestly think it's the pacing of the book that has so many of us divided. (I could be wrong.)

When compared with something like Anansi Boys, American Gods is reeeeeeeeaaaally slow and meandering to get through the story itself. Which might be why so many people find it boring? IDK. I was in a rough place at the time I read the book, and the slow-paced absorption was kind of what I needed to get away from it all. Maybe if I reread it now I would be bored too, IDK.

But American Gods is definitely the slowest-paced writing Neil Gaiman has ever produced, IMO.

*blink* You find Anansi Boys faster than American Gods? oh, my god, Anansi Boys dragged and dragged and had no plot. I read it because after American Gods I was eager for more of that 'verse and I had to force myself to finish the bloody thing.
