I had a hard time getting through the book the first time I read it, about a year ago. This time, however, I powered through it in about 5 days and thoroughly enjoyed it. Of his list of books, I've only read this one and "Good Omens".
I've come to the conclusion after the second reading, that the American Gods were all much different than their original counterparts. At the end of the novel, when Shadow speaks with Odin:
"I saw you die," said Shadow. "I stood vigil for your body. You tried to destroy so much for power. You would have sacrificed so much for yourself. You did that."
"I did not do that."
"Wednesday did. He was you."
"He was me, yes. But I am not him."
The rest also changed/became something different as they adapted to America.
