The beginning of this book had me thinking I was not really going to like it much-it is written well-but the subject matter is really out there. It is about people's beliefs in their gods bringing those gods to America from their "old country". While it takes place in present time, it visits back through time touching on a particular event here and there that brought certain gods to this country. In the present, those beliefs fade and there develops a kind of "turf war" between the older gods and the new generation. It turns out to be a very compelling road trip throughout America with some spooky moments and in the end is a great story! I really liked it overall!
