After reading the Vulture/New Yorker article I have chosen to remove my reviews of this man's content from my accounts. I choose to place this text here because I think it is important to juxtaposition these things. I also don't think that pretending I never read these things is particularly helpful either.

I wanted to like this, I did. I loooved Good Omens. But... yeah no. Life is too short to force myself to keep reading this book.

A good read, although I think that it would succeed much more in a format other than a novel. The book poses a lot of questions and doesn't really seem to be interested in building the world in such a way that those questions can be answered. The characterization of the various gods felt like it was trying to avoid caricaturization to the point where it felt like these were just random people thrust into the identity of a god with motivations unrelated to their historical personalities.

I'm not sure I really agreed with the pacing of the book either. 90% exposition, incredibly short rising action, and then an incredibly unsatisfying climax.

I honestly was disappointed. Not sure what I expected, this being the first Gaiman book I've read, but this story just was not very compelling to me. Gaiman seemed very pleased with his ability to reference gods and mythology in every aspect of the novel, but it came at the expense of creating interesting characters or a clear plot line. I didn't read the Epilogue because I lost the book while traveling, but I feel like I got enough without needing to know the very end.
