American Gods

I was expecting so much from this book and came away slightly disappointed. Yes it deals with a lot of themes; love, loss, betrayal etc and it deals with these well I just thought that for me, the middle part of the story was slightly weak. It did pick up again towards the end and I felt myself pulled back into the story and was engrossed again. It is certainly a memorable book with some great scenarios, the two man cons for instance. I enjoyed the book on the whole, but I guess the weight of expectation affected my experience.
