Watched the series, wanted to read the book. Ended up listening to the audiobook.
I enjoyed the HBO series, but the book is different enough so that things weren't spoiled.
A lot of fun, and the narrator is great

Solid story, kept me guessing. I'm a sucker for the "are they telling the truth, or are they crazy"-type stories.
Ending felt a bit forced, after all the build up.

DNF. Couldn't make it through first chapter. Tried to give it a chance, but when he decided the comment, abusive relationship between his parents as "how they lived each other" I was out

Good info, but a bit too focused on a particular narrative rather than following all the informatiln.
Interesting tale. Read some reviews that it's not original, and has done plot holes. Both are true. However, I enjoyed it and, as a YA novel, it's a good introduction to the themes. I'll be reading more in this world

Neil Gaiman has long been inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of …
Fascinating, and a lot of fun.
I listened to the audio book and, frankly, in the beginning Gaiman's reading isn't the best. But either he got better or I got used to it. Mainly, some (not all) of the dialogue seemed flat
The book itself is wonderful. I know little about Norse mythology, and so was really interested in some of the details, as well as the history

Really solid work, and eye-opening.
There's a fine line between "well researched" and "repetitive," and my personal feelings is this one landed on the wrong side at times. But not enough to take too much away from the work as a whole.
A different angle than One Nation Under God by Kruse, so a good compliment to it.
