This was a pretty thick book, 628 pages long, but it went by fairly quickly nonetheless and I greatly enjoyed it. While reading, I found myself trying to place which God or Goddess was represented by each character that Shadow met on his travels with Wednesday. (I was pretty good with all the Egyptian ones and Kali; the exact form of some of the Norse ones escaped me at times, though the names were familiar.)
I'm looking forward to reading Anansi Boys now, which is sort of a follow-up to this book.

A strange tale of the collaboration between a human and the Gods of old in a dual with the new gods. A good read but the concept is somewhat strange. Winner of the 2001 Bram Stoker Award for best novel.
