After three years in prison, Shadow has done his time. But as the days, then the hours, then the minutes, then the seconds until his release tick away, he can feel a storm building. Two days before he gets out, his wife Laura dies in a mysterious car crash, in apparently adulterous circumstances.

One of the best novels on Neil Gaiman it seems.

I had time to read only the first 170 pages. It is a great one!
I am fascinated by the story telling more than about the story itself! (as usual :) ) The fantasy inserts make it `special` - apparently in a good way for me! I like it and hardly managed to part from it! :)
I will definitely read it forward when I'll have the chance.

This book is my gift as a "Secret Angel".
I hope you'll be enjoying it also!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! :)

A book from my wishlist, came from Romania within the Secret Angel 2012 present. I'm so excited!

I'm going to finish it during New Year Holidays and make a bookray with it next.

"The Herodotus thing. It doesn't mean that the dead are happy, said Shadow. It means that you can't judge the shape of someone's life until it's over and done".

I had a feeling that I wouldn't finish this book if I put it aside even for a day. So I kept reading and I recommend anyone to do the same. Call no man happy until he's dead.
I believe I might acquire my own copy (I like British editions with slightly bigger font) and read it again some time in the future.

On its way to Romania. Enjoy the reading!

Got it!
Thank you very much Lamilla! :)

I am very happy to read it until the end!
Now that you say the finish is not what you would usually expect, the stake is higher! :D

Nice postcard!! Thanks! :)

I like the fantastic world I discovered in this book! It's a nice perspective :)
What I like the most is Shadow being human ;)

Sent to my BC- buddy for the Women's Day Book Exchange :)

Happy 8th of March!
Enjoy a talented writer! Enjoy a thrilling story! ;)

Thank you so much! I will definitely enjoy it, after reading how much you and Lamilla have liked it. I am really intrigued now.
Thanks for sending a book you have liked yourself, this adds a special value to it.
And thanks for my lovely bracelet (handmade?), butterfly bookmark... and for taking the time to write me a letter! :)

Sent today to the winner of the Mythology Sweeps, with a little extra gift.
Congrats on winning... and enjoy! :)

Thank you for this excellent book. I already have a copy. I will see which one has a bigger font and keep that to read and find a new home for the other one.

As my other copy has a larger font kinder to my eyes, this one is starting its journey again to meet new readers.

I have not read American Gods yet, but everything else I have read by Neil Gaiman I love. I hope future readers will enjoy the book.
