A review by bbrassfield
Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman

4.0

Thoroughly enjoyable narrative by the Norse gods with a distinctive Gaiman tilt, which means weird, fascinating, and yes as LeGuin pointed out in her review, chatty. If I were a god I'd be chatty too! Think of the world perspective a god has after all. Probably because I'm a Tolkien geek and he loved the Norse poetic edda, which greatly influenced his otherwise very Catholic-underpinned world building, I've enjoyed the tales of Thor, Loki, Freyja and Odin for many years. To my mind, an afterlife of endless battling, drinking, humping and then doing it all over again on repeat for all eternity sounds pretty good.
