This was the first book I have read by Neil Gaiman and I will definitely read other works by him.
I really liked the premise of the book and the main plot.
The structure of the book includes little side stories to the main plot, which I didn't always like and often wanted to skip because I felt they were interrupting me when I really wanted to know what was going to happen to Shadow.
The book includes a lot of mythology that I was unfamiliar with, forcing me to do some additional research. Having read it on kindle made it easier by allowing me to research some of the gods, but I ended up using “fandom” to better visualize some of the characters.
There is an annotated version that includes more details about the gods (including pictures) which may make the book more interesting and easier to follow.
I think it might be more interesting to read this book having a greater knowledge of Ameria so I will certainly reread it when I do a roadtrip in the US.
All in all it was a very interesting read.
