Nice little story. It is well written and Gaiman has obviously done his share of research regarding norse mythology, but this is a story for children, and as an adult reader i found it a bit too simple.

Like Gaiman but this story is a little thin. Not because it is short but because it feels that the story never starts and then the book ends
The book arrived yesterday, and I started Reading it straight away.
I quite like the story. I do like the old norse mytholigy and this gives my some parts of it.
I also do like the Norwegian name Odd! I think it as a great name when travelling to English speaking countries.
"Hello, my name is Odd".
- maybe only topped if your surname is Aass.

Fant boka da jeg kom hjem i kveld. Deler den med en annen bookcrosser over en kopp te:)
Fine bilder, så på boka hos ei venninne. Lykke til videre på reisen :)
I have just read the book, buildt on norrøn mythologi. I found that I like better the original myths, than this short booklet. The story made me a bit sad..
I wil try to find some more readers before I let the book travel on..

...and so you did, Askeladda: you found me! : )
Just read this book before it travels on. Bit fun reading this from Askeladda - when the storys main figure - Odd - reminds a lot of "Askeladden" (main caracter in a lot of old norwegian fairytales).
Good luck with this olympic bookcrossing, Team Valhalla.

Reser tillsammans med team Nangijalas bok till nästa läsare. Hoppas det går bra.Jag vill inte höra talas om att Odd bryter sig ut.
The story is a bit thin, but for kids it´s probably a nice introduction to norse mythology.
I'll send it on to gunvor as soon as possible.
