Wednesday claiming to be a refugee from a distant war a former god and the king of America Together they embark on a very strange journey across the States along the Whenever we have a cold snap here in Wisconsin I find myself thinking about one of my favorite pieces of American Gods I remember reading it back in 2002 or so This was back in the day Back when it was a bit of a secret that Gaiman lived in Wisconsin I read the following section of the book nodding to myself thinking Yup that s exactly what it s like Then I had another thought I bet this comes from that really bad cold snap we had here in Wisconsin about six years ago It was pretty cool for me being able to guess where a this piece of this book got its start For those of you who haven t read it here s the excerpt The main character Shadow has just come to a small Wisconsin town and he decides to walk into town to buy some warmer clothes and groceries The cold snap had come that was for sure It could not be much above zero and it would not be a pleasant walk but he was certain he could make it into town without too much trouble What did Hinzelmann say last night a ten minute walk And Shadow was a big man He would walk briskly and keep himself warm He set off south heading for the bridgeSoon he began to cough a dry thin cough as the bitterly cold air touched his lungs Soon his ears and face and lips hurt and then his feet hurt He thrust his ungloved hands deep into his coat pockets clenched his fingers together trying to find some warmth Step after step after step He glanced back The apartment building was not as far away as he had expectedThis walk he decided was a mistake But he was already three or four minutes from the apartment and the bridge over the lake was in sight It made as much sense to press on as to go home and then what Call a taxi on the dead phone Wait for spring He had no food in the apartment he reminded himselfHe kept walking revising his estimates of the temperature downward as he walked Minus ten Minus twenty Minus forty maybe that strange point on the thermometer when Celsius and Fahrenheit say the same thing Probably not that cold But then there was wind chill and the wind was now hard and steady and continuous blowing over the lake coming down from the Arctic across CanadaTen minutes of walking he guessed and the bridge seemed to be no nearer He was too cold to shiver His eyes hurt This was not simply cold this was science fiction This was a story set on the dark side of Mercury back when they thought Mercury had a dark side This was somewhere out on rocky Pluto where the sun is just another star shining only a little brightly in the darkness This thought Shadow is just a hair away from the places where air comes in buckets and pours just like beerThe occasional cars that roared past him seemed unreal spaceships little freeze dried packages of metal and glass inhabited by people dressed warmly than he was An old song his mother had loved Walking in a Winter Wonderland began to run through his head and he hummed it through closed lips kept pace to it as he walkedHe had lost all sensation in his feet He looked down at his black leather shoes at the thin cotton socks and began seriously to worry about frostbiteThis was beyond a joke This had moved beyond foolishness slipped over the line into genuine twenty four karat Jesus Christ I screwed up big time territory His clothes might as well have been netting or lace the wind blew through him froze his bones and the marrow in his bones froze the lashes of his eyes froze the warm place under his balls which were retreating into his pelvic cavityKeep walking he told himself Keep walking I can stop and drink a pail of air when I get home And that my friends is one of the many reasons I love

Download Ñ PDF, eBook or Kindle ePUB Á Neil Gaiman American Gods Free read ☆ 6 Alternate cover edition of ASIN B005NACYUThe extraordinary highly acclaimed epic novel from storytelling genius Neil GaimanAfter three years in prison Shadow has done his time But as the time until his release ticks away he can feel a storm brewing Two days before he gets out his wife La This is a tough review for me to write I m not exactly sure what it is about this book that I don t like I m not sure there even IS something I don t like Since I don t want to just leave you all with the ever popular I m just not that into it I will try to explainThis book has all the elements of a book I would enjoy The creepiness factor is up there the writing is brilliant the main character is a big lug I couldn t help but love Also I have always been fascinated by mythology so that s a plusShadow is our main character and he just got out of jail after doing his time of three years Right before he is supposed to be released he is let out early because his wife was killed in apparently scandalous circumstances The first 50ish pages were about the extent of where the book was interesting to me Shadow meets Wednesday and then the story turns into a bunch of mini stories and flashbacks and I didn t enjoy most of them Some were okay but the majority just felt like annoying disruptions and I felt myself thinking this is yet another longer book that could benefit from losing about 100 or so pages from the dragging middle Shadow is paid by Wednesday to be an errand boy while he travels America trying to rally his troops in preparation for a war between The old Gods and the new Gods media and money I guess it s my own fault I couldn t really bring myself to care about this war between the new and old Gods because the Gods of Media and Money Not my GodsBooks that are hyped up as much as this one leave me in a place where I tend to get disappointed because it s so hard to live up to those expectations Of course that s not the books fault but I was just expecting to like this book much than I did I never felt engaged while reading this book and that s the reason I couldn t rate this above three stars I could appreciate the great writing and originality however so I couldn t give it below three starsThree stars it is folks but as most of you know this book is loved by almost all so of course I encourage everyone who is interested in this book already to read it and form your own opinions This book didn t do it for me but I am definitely going to try some of Gaiman s other books and see if I have a better experience
