What we liked about this book: The various interludes of the novel that detailed how the gods arrived in America and how they maintained themselves were really our favorite parts of the book, it seems.
What we didn’t like: Shadow, the main character, was a flat “shadow” of a character.

Verdict: 8 thumbs up, 2 thumbs sideways
