Neil Gaiman does it again! A wonderfully fun and adventurous children's novel.

Enjoyable if slight. As usual, Gaiman’s use of mythological characters—in this case, those wacky old Norse Gods—is fantastic. I just wish his human character, Odd, had been less of a cypher. His journey didn’t feel as meaningful as it could have since he was mostly such a blank: more of a Shadow, alas, and less of a Richard Mayhew. (I love Richard, okay? I will totally arm wrestle over his superiority to all other slightly befuddled Neil Gaiman protagonists. RICHARD FOREVER.)

Ahem. Anyway, fun story; not quite great. WHEN ARE YOU WRITING ANOTHER ADULT NOVEL, NEIL?

This was a perfect book to read on a cold Christmas Eve during a year where for too many winter has lasted all year.

Odd and the Frost Giants is a quick one-hour read aimed for younger readers, but those who enjoy Gaiman's other Norse mythology works are likely to enjoy this one as well. I appreciate the fact Gaiman's keeping actual Norse myths alive so that Avengers isn't the only source for kids to find out about Odin, Thor and Loki.

A short book with a lot to say. Neil Gaiman doesnt need 400 pages to create a beautiful world with meaningful characters, a skill that I both respect and admire.
