This was a very good story. Giaman sucks you in and doesn't let you go. I really enjoyed the characters, you have humans, gods, demigods and zombies, even old Native American ledgends. It seems to me that it's a rare thing to find a book the flows. This one did just that. I had a hard time putting this book down and when I did, I couldn't wait to pick it back up.

There was this one part in this in the book, when Shadow was talking to his dead wife, and she mentions that Shadow wasn't really living, but he wasn't dead. And it made me think about all those people out there that are just exsisting. They go to work, come home eat food, watch TV and go to bed. They've forgotten what they wanted to do with their lives, what dreams they had, how to LIVE!!! I've decided that I'm not going to be that way, that I plan to LIVE! And that's what I took away from this book.

I liked the concept of the book as well, the old gods of the old world and their war with the new gods of our world.

I highly recommend this book! It was a great read.
