American Gods / Neil Gaiman / 465 pages / Neil Gaiman Challenge

Wow! This was an omnibus!  Through Shadow, a convict granted early release due to the somewhat scandalous death of his wife, we are presented a fair sampling of the thousands of gods brought to America by faithful immigrants.  These gods are at diametrical odds with the modern American gods such as television and technology.  As Shadow follows Mr. Wednesday's bidding, we are treated to a tour of American highlight hotspots; encounter multiple resurrected individuals; and witness one man's determination to do the right thing.
