Loading... Norse Mythologyby Neil Gaiman
  
No current Talk conversations about this book. Gaiman reads this retelling of the Norse myths in a most entertaining style, lending them more of a folksy air than Wagner, for instance! It was great company on the treadmill this week. (  ) ffortsa | Jan 15, 2019 |  This is a collection of short stories true to Norse pantheon. The stories center around Thor, Loki, and Odin. The stories are about forming the world, creation of Yggdrasil, how Odin lost an eye, the god's treasures, Loki's children, Thor and the giants, Balder's death, Ragnarok, The author puts his own twists on the old myths, but stays true to the stories. This was a pretty good book. It is a good book for the 11-17 age range, and if your child is a fan of Thor, then it is definitely a good choice. Thor is definitely the comic relief of these stories. They are silly, over the top, and enjoyable. I say try it out! ( ) JenMat | Jan 10, 2019 | This has just reconfirmed that I can read anything by Neil Gaiman. A gorgeous retelling of Norse mythology, flowing through the time of the gods and goddesses, intertwining their stories to tell the tale from creation to destruction. Some of the myths were old and familiar to me, others new and never heard before - all were fresh, bright, and maybe me fall all over again for mythology. (  )1  JPetersonReads | Dec 23, 2018 | I liked Niel Gaimon's narration. Stories interesting only because they are historical. (  ) scottkirkwood | Dec 4, 2018 | A wonderful little collection of Norse mythology, with Gaiman's always-readable writing style. ( ) kristilabrie | Nov 28, 2018 | no reviews | add a review
