Review: I wasn't too impressed
with this one, and I'd had such high hopes for it. It sounded so
intreguing--all the old-world mythological gods set in modern day
America. What I found was a hopelessly pointless plot peopled by
little-known and obsolete characters who are, by nature, two
dimentional. Yes, I'll condeed that they are intended to be
little-known and obsolete, but that means that in order to get some of
the nuances of the book you'd need to do a LOT of research. Maybe
if the plot had been a little more interesting and had dragged a little
less, I might have been interested enough to go do further reading, but
as it was, I couldn't wait to get away from anything related to the
novel in any way.
A Christian Perspective: Sorry,
I couldn't find anything in this book to redeem it. This is
definitely one to skip.
