Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman Book Summary

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author and “one of the modern masters of fantasy writing,” (Huffington Post) a dazzling, witty telling of the Norse myths.

"A lively, funny, and very human rendition of Thor the thunder god, his father Odin, and the dark-hearted trickster Loki (plus countless other gods and monsters)." — Petra Mayer, NPR

Neil Gaiman, long inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction, presents a bravura rendition of the Norse gods and their world from their origin though their upheaval in Ragnarok.

In Norse Mythology, Gaiman stays true to the myths in envisioning the major Norse pantheon: Odin, the highest of the high, wise, daring, and cunning; Thor, Odin’s son, incredibly strong yet not the wisest of gods; and Loki—son of a giant—blood brother to Odin and a trickster and unsurpassable manipulator.

Gaiman fashions these primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds and delves into the exploits of deities, dwarfs, and giants. Through Gaiman’s deft and witty prose, these gods emerge with their fiercely competitive natures, their susceptibility to being duped and to duping others, and their tendency to let passion ignite their actions, making these long-ago myths breathe pungent life again.

pleasing. overall this book was entertaining and informative, providing great detail regarding the tales of Norse, however the reason my review is not fulfilled to its maximum of five stars is because I expected more info regarding ragnarok.

Entertaining. I thought this book started a little slow but after the first chapter the book picked up and was hard to put down. The chapters became charming with a sense of humor. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. You can’t seem to go wrong with Neil Gaiman. Highly recommend this book if you’re looking to read something entertaining, funny, and charming with a sense of character charisma that keeps you intrigued.

Gaiman Magic. From stories told around cooking fires on winter nights to the decks of salt-sprayed Viking longships centuries ago, who better to bring the ancient heroes and villains of Norse myth to our iPads and bookstands than Neil Gaiman? His love for Norse mythology and genius ability to weave rich stories that capture the imagination and open up the mysterious are a gift. Ragnorok will have to wait- Gaiman has breathed new life into the Gods, giants, monsters, creatures, and humans that live on Yggdrasil. This book is wonderful!

Amazing Stories!. Reaching beyond moral, the stories told are very entertaining and move our hearts with emotion, primal at times, with wittiness and humor, drama, all with beauty.

Cool Story ... Bruh. Cool Story Bruh

Great book💜. Gives you wings into a world of fascinating tales of norse gods and how they came to be or have their objects, a trip to the nine worlds and Loki's adventures and miss deeds:). Loved the book a lot!

Interesting but way too short. It was a good read but 12 bucks for a tiny book

Awesome collection of tales from Norse mythology!. This was a really fun read, love the simple and playful language!

First and last. Not a difficult read; remedial and simplistic. It read quickly. It was not worth $12.99. Probably last time I will read this author.

Easy and enjoyable read. I don’t read much but this book is seriously pretty amazing. I loved the stories and the detail. It has some good stories in it that help to understand more of the old Norse gods. I would recommend to anyone who is interested it Norse mythology. It didn’t drag on and was fun and exciting. I couldn’t put it down! 5 stars from me. I wish there were more stories!

First. I’m first!

Norse mythology is amazing!!. Great book!!

Great short stories. I don't like reading but I finished the entire book in three days I wish there was more

Very fun!. Hilarious and entertaining

Godly Grandiosity. This book is packed with tough and rough people. I'm not sure there's anyone like them anywhere in the earthly realm... which is a good thing, or are these characters living among us?

Best Book Ever Read.. I was recommended this book by someone after we talked a bit about Gods. I knew Neil Gaiman from his Coraline book, but this amazed me more and learned more about Norse Mythology in a span of two days of reading. I love this!

Great read. Enjoyed Neil Gaimen's take on Norse Mythology. A must read

Norse mythology rocks. I loved everything about this. 10/10
