Best parts of the book:

Neil Gaiman's retelling of a few of the most popular Norse myths. A highly enjoyable read. I would like another collection of Gaiman taking the story & adding his own spin to it, building on it. These are mostly pretty standard retellings. There's nothing that shouts NEIL GAIMAN about them, which is probably a good thing, considering.

Beautifully written, Gaiman's humor comes through. Norse Mythology isn't my usual cuppa, but I'm glad I gave this one a listen.

A wonderful overview, I can't wait to dig deeper into Norse mythology.
