I have checked it out from the library a couple of times and it continues to be strong even when you know how the story ends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you haven&amp;#39;t read it, check out the novella Monarch of the Glen in the Fragile Things collection.  It is a story about Shadow after the events of American Gods.  It is very good.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19933604/3398515738414016972/comments/default/3533992127194676133'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19933604/3398515738414016972/comments/default/3533992127194676133'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.cynicaloptimism.net/2009/12/american-gods.html?showComment=1260822654716#c3533992127194676133' title=''/><author><name>Carl V.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15948764216438379394</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='28' src='http://www.stainlesssteeldroppings.com/images/hanpic.jpg'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.cynicaloptimism.net/2009/12/american-gods.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19933604.post-3398515738414016972' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19933604/posts/default/3398515738414016972' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-758646808'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19933604.post-1834518153283741227</id><published>2009-12-09T10:22:00.550-06:00</published><updated>2009-12-09T10:22:00.550-06:00</updated><title type='text'>I looked up the characters as well!  still haven&amp;#...</title><content type='html'>I looked up the characters as well!  still haven&amp;#39;t figured out who the god who shadow can&amp;#39;t remember is though.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19933604/3398515738414016972/comments/default/1834518153283741227'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19933604/3398515738414016972/comments/default/1834518153283741227'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.cynicaloptimism.net/2009/12/american-gods.html?showComment=1260375720550#c1834518153283741227' title=''/><author><name>Melanie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13215448457283751470</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SOmyvxnpDaw/SKCxG065IOI/AAAAAAAAADk/rTVSMKqhN4I/s1600-R/IMG_1378.JPG'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.cynicaloptimism.net/2009/12/american-gods.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19933604.post-3398515738414016972' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19933604/posts/default/3398515738414016972' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1394100829'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19933604.post-5712040649337898156</id><published>2009-12-08T21:56:15.730-06:00</published><updated>2009-12-08T21:56:15.730-06:00</updated><title type='text'>I loved this book.
