I'm not going to lie, I really didn't like this book at first. I thought it was a total bummer. But the farther I get from reading it the more I appreciate the story. I still think it's excessive to have an epilogue AND a post script.

The imagining of American Gods was amazing storytelling that I enjoyed reading. the characters were well thought out and neither all good or bad.
