5.0 out of 5 starsI 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.

1.0 out of 5 starsBook 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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Neil Gaiman at it again
Reviewed in Australia on 4 June 2021

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic retelling of Nordic god history
Reviewed in Australia on 19 October 2021
Verified Purchase
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not great, not bad

It would be far better with separate chapters for each god, and a better background rather than such emphasis on myths.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love these classic Norse tales!
Reviewed in Australia on 20 September 2021

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Norse
Reviewed in Australia on 29 June 2019

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Just Alright
Reviewed in Australia on 1 September 2018
Verified Purchase
I thought the book was not bad. I was thinking it would be the Norse myths with a modern telling. Unfortunately, but with credit to him, Gaiman stuck to the rigid, sparse style of the original tales. Made for interesting, but not overly engaging reading. As a Gaiman fan, this one was just alright for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great stories

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.
