Question: Has anyone read any of the books by Neil Gaiman!?
If so, which book would you recommend as a first read!. I want to check out American Gods first but I'm not sure if its as good as the others!. (4 /5 vs!. 4!.5 of 5 on amazon costomer review)Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
American Gods was the first Gaiman novel I read and I loved it!. Absolutely loved it!. I followed it with Anansi Boys and Neverwhere, but they didn't capture me like AG did!.

I've finished Vol 3 of The Sandman graphic novel series that he co-wrote and it's amazing!.

I keep meaning to read Good Omens, but haven't gotten around to it yet!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you want a good cross-section of his writings, I recommend one of the anthologies!. "Smoke and Mirrors" is one that I pick up regularly!.

Otherwise, my favourite is actually "Good Omens", which he co-wrote with Terry Pratchett, followed by "Stardust" and "Neverwhere"!. Both of the latter have been filmed, with varying results!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I started out with American Gods, and was immediately entranced! It's a great mix of genuine humor and the dark fantastic!. I recommend following up with Anansi Boys, which is somewhat tied to the plot of American Gods!. I think once you read AG, you're sure to become a Gaiman addict!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Preludes & Nocturnes!. Sure, it's a graphic novel, but it's awesome!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I read American Gods recently and loved it!. A good one to start with I think!Www@QuestionHome@Com
