Just finished American Gods, I liked it better than I did when I abandoned it, but I felt like the book ended with a whimper rather than a bang. There was one plot point I particularly enjoyed, however, that was nicely set up by Gaiman. But I think you need to be into mythology to like this book at all. My wife is not nearly so into it as I am, and she wasn't impressed when she read it a few years ago.
[Edited to add: I will be jumping into the discussion when I get home from work today!]
Working on the June issue of Apex Magazine now. Figure I need a break from novels, so I'm going to read a few shorter pieces this week.
