Review: Norse Mythology

Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I like the myths. No. I love those myths!! However, it is not Gaiman's fault. As for this particular retelling, I didn't like too much. It reads more like a collection of translator's notes (and I read the sources, thank you very much). Gaiman's style is too clipped for this purpose. Dryness really doesn't suit a myth, it needs a flourish.
