Gaiman gets name dropped a lot, so I gave him a chance with this book to try and understand what the fuss is about. Total and utter cringefest. It's not normie-tier stuff like Koontz or King, it's "I'm a freshman creative writing major xD ~~ !!" tier. Pretty long too, like 400 pages of shit smeared on pages.
Just awful. Absolutely awful.
This book was probably ghostwritten by a 13 year old girl.
>>7298237You're asking an impossible task. The protagonist is unironically named motherfucking SHADOW in 21st century America. Everybody just accepts it too. "What's your name? Oh, Shadow, okay." Like that's even slightly normal. The only way for this to have been acceptable is if Shadow had been literally retarded to the point of severe handicap and nobody questioned him on his name because, hey, the guy's retarded, he can call himself whatever he wants. Instead he's built as some macho hardass.
It's nonredeemable in every quality from the point that Gaiman typed 'Shadow' and onward. You can't polish a turd.
