Loading... Norse Mythologyby Neil Gaiman
  
No current Talk conversations about this book. Really enjoyable short read. Finished it in a couple days. Remember some of the stories from when I was a kid. The gods are not especially likeable, as a bunch, which makes it quite fun. Stories selected follow an arc too which is nice. Loki stories tend to be the best ones in my mind (  ) eoghanhickey | Aug 17, 2018 |  Seems like a great place to start to dip one's toes into the Norse mythology stream. Entertaining reading with wry humour sprinkled throughout. (  ) PhilipJHunt | Aug 14, 2018 | This retelling of the Norse myths is similar in tone to the Puffin series "Saga of Asgard" - sparser prose overall, though slightly more forthcoming on how Loki and the goat made Skadi laugh. If you haven't previously read retellings of the Norse myths, this would be a very good place to start. If you have read them, then there is not much here that is new, nor is there much additional atmosphere. However - if Gaiman ever writes a book to bridge the gap between the Norse mythology and American Gods I'll be first in line to buy it. d.r.halliwell | Aug 14, 2018 | NEIL GAIMAN is a god!! Only fitting that he retell the ancient myths of the Norse Mythologies and in with his narration magic, brings to life each and every god in all the stories he presents. This is how mythology was meant to be passed down, orally, and no one could have done a more fantastic job than he does!!!
