It's virtually impossible to read more than ten words by Neil Gaiman and not wish he would tell you the rest of the story .The halls of Valhalla have been crying out for Gaimanto tell their storiesto a new audience.
There have been countless retellings of the Norse myths, but few that give them the everyday immediacy of Neil Gaiman'swry, punchy phrasing and delivery. You feel that bumbling Thor, wise Odin, fabulous Freya and the wily Loki arepart of him
Gaiman retells the Norse sagas in his own lucid, laid-back style,teasing out the humour and absurdityinherent in the source material . An honest retelling that betrays an abiding personalpassionfor the exploits of dim-witted Thor, mercurial Loki, bombastic Odin and the rest
Beautifully toldand a lot of fun
Aboldundertaking .An excellent introductionto the stories that wield such great cultural significance
Gaiman's voice is engaging; often quirkily humorous .The author's affection for the characters shines out from every page, and the narrative, always crisp and direct, combines an adult's insight with a childlike sense of wonder at the magic of it all
Gaiman's characteristically limpid,quick-running prose keeps the dramatic impetus of the medieval texts. His telling of the tales is for children and adults alike, and this is both right and wise, it being the property of genuine myth on many levels
It's the perfect moment to become acquainted with Gaiman'seerie, fantastical writing. In his latest book, he recasts the Nordic sagas asgrippinghuman dramas, putting flesh and blood on the slippery Loki, the hard-charging Odin and others
His workdraws you in and eats you upwith new worlds and ideas
The ideal person to present these storiesfor a contemporary audience. He approaches the stories with a lightness of touch . There's humour throughout ****
See long-dead Nordic legends broughtvividlyto life in this latest [book] from the master of the dark fairytale
