Ouuchhh, I would not rate this book 5/5 definitely, even if I truly madly really love the last story in that book "The Monarch of the Glen - An American Gods Novella". I also came to really like the characters in the Sun Bird. This is the first I've read of Gaiman and I skipped the introduction as I would do all books I read. Honestly, loud in my head before the last story but after all the other stories in this book == lewd language, soft porn, cursing, oddness. In fact half way in the book, I curse myself for buying the book. What the bloody hell????? Still, the curious me chose not to give it up. This man and his works have been rated highly. There has to be a not so lewd explanation.
Now that I've completed it, and went back to read the introduction, there was a funny force asking me to read the first story again. Very odd, I like it. Simple and not so simple logic with a hint of absurdity, this English man is not a normal man.
My friend who recommended this book is right, this is a book of peculiar stories written by a man of extra special talents and to me don't seem to give a hoot about what imps like me think of his writings. So I'll stop .... :-)
