Why read it?

1 author picked The Annotated American Gods as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This is a wonderfully off-the-wall adventure by the author of the Sandman series and co-author of Good Omens. Like those, Gaiman incorporates a lot of mythology and folklore into the work, often in non-obvious ways.

Spotting the mythological references is part of the fun. And, of course, right up my alley. Interesting take on mythological characters. And, despite the potentially grim subject matter, it is much lighter in tone than the Medusa books I cite above.
