I have been a fan of Neil Gaiman since watching
Doctor Who and it’s only after I did research that I found out he wrote
Coraline as well. His writing always submerges
you in the world of the story that he is weaving around you.
In Norse Mythology he does not disappoint, I loved
every second of it, and I highly recommend that you get yourself an audible copy as he narrates the book
himself.
Gaiman stuck to the original stories, giving it to
the reader in its purest form. No bells or whistles, no alterations, just the
original stories told in Gaiman’s novelistic arc. It starts from the genesis of
the legendary nine worlds and delves into the exploits of deities, dwarfs and
giants. The work comes to an end with Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods and
rebirth of a new time and people.
Gaiman has a way of breathing life into these
stories that have been told many times before, and it pulls you in from the
beginning right through to the last page. You get to read more about characters
that you have gotten to know in the Marvel universe, Odin, Thor and Loki.
