The majority of my goodreads friends have either read this book or plan to. Excellent urban fantasy folk mythic road-trip story (and mystery!). I understand the audiobook version is also very good.

Very strong characters and story telling. When Slavic gods appeared not soon after the Norse, I was hooked. I look forward to reading Anansi Boys and watching the television series - though part of me isn't sure if I want to worship that particular American God.

Favorite quote:
"What I say is, a town isn't a town without a bookstore. It may call itself a town, but unless it's got a bookstore, it knows it's not foolin' a soul."
