There's a quite different sentiment to the novels. 'Stardust' is much more 'fairy-tale' like and light in tone and definitely more whimsical in comparison. 'American Gods' is heavier, serious, it requires more of its reader.
Edit, added: It took me three tries to get into 'Neverwhere', but when I first got started I liked it. Overall, I think I like Gaiman best when he's more serious and 'adult' than whimsical.
