I think this is where I admit magical realism just isn't for me. It is the genre I most often fail to find interesting or indeed finish a book on. I didn't finish this one.

Gabriel García Márquez is the only one I can think of who consistently keeps me happy in this field. Though I am yet to try Murakami because I'm scared I won't like those either.

The plots to magical realism always sound so good to me, but consistently I find the actual stories very slow burn and boring. ...more

American Gods es un clásico de ciencia ficción/fantasía de Neil Gaimann, un libro de culto para mucha gente, pero o esperaba mucho, o simplemente no me encanta su estilo -memorias de The Sandman- pero aunque tiene muchas cosas interesantes y llenas de referencias a dioses caducos o inventados, sentí que tuve muchos ratos de lectura irrelevante.

Al final empecé a agarrarle gusto, pero no volvería a leerlo, mejor le dedico mi tiempo a otra cosa. 2.5 estrellas redondeadas por las 2 últimas partes.

Ugh.
Parts of this were amazing and maybe if I knew more mythology or was in a different mood for this I'd have loved it more? ...more
