I loved this book so much so I purchased the audio as well....

Reviewed in Australia on 18 February 2021

I'm new to Norse mythology and loved the characters the way the stories unfold. The crisp writing style got me! I read it twice, just for pure enjoyment. I suggest you'd purchase the audiobook as well. It gives a more in-depth telling of how Neil wanted the stories to be read.

I prefer non-fiction writings, but this Neil Gaiman piece is crafted beautifully.

Book arrived in disgusting condition

Reviewed in Australia on 17 January 2022

Book arrived as if it were used.
It has greasy smudge marks all over the over, the corner of the back is peeling and there are fingerprints everywhere.
Something you’d expect from a second hand store, not brand new off Amazon.

I’d like either a full refund or discount because this is most certainly not the brand new book I paid for.

Neil Gaiman at it again

A very easily read compendium of Norse Mythology.
Done in Neil's signature style, this mythology retell is a very entertaining read.
The Gods are ALIVE! The tales of their victories, their losses, their escapades, and their ends are worked like a fine wool into a great tapestry.

A great book, filled with amazing stories of Norse mythology, Neil really has a way of writing that brings you into the book like you're a part of the story too. 10/10 would recommend.

A fantastic retelling of Nordic god history

Book comes with a beutiful and tactile illustration on the cover. The stories told are really easy to read and told in a voice that can only be compared to a well travelled bard after a drink of mead; humor is great and details are engaging.

Love these classic Norse tales!

Great telling of some classic Norse tales. I likes the almost chronological order they followed, too, like we were coming along with the gods on their adventures. Fantastic start for anyone interesting in Norse mythology/legends/gods.

This book somewhat reminds of Mythos & Heroes by Stephen Fry. I knew little about Norse mythology before reading it. It is clear and the writer's style in generally good. I would recommend it if you want to have a basic overview of the topic of Norse mythology.

My son did some work for the next Thor movie. Now I understand what Ragnarok is, or will be. Norse Mythology is a brilliant read. I read it with Kindle and Audible narration; well worth it with the authors terrific narration.

The writer has made a magnificent job while gathering all of these myths and folk tales and serving them in a interesting and fluent way. It’s a book that even after you’ve finished you can pick a random story at anytime for some small distraction and amusement.

Grandson is so into Norse mythology. I think he’s read everything from the library, and now he has his own book.

Neil Gaiman's Norse gods are flawed, egotistical, spiteful and nasty. Fantastically written, reminded me so much of his "American Gods" and Shadow short stories. His work is always engaging, and this book is no exception.
