In this book, Gaiman brilliantly issues immigration visas to all the traditional gods and spirits of the cultures that have melted into the American milieu. Once he has them here, he initiates the metaphysical brawl of the century. The book maintains this brilliance right up until the last handful of chapters, when the multiple threads of religious imagery muddle into confusion. (Oh, and what's with the nearly pornographic scenes? Reader beware.)
