American Gods

Have you read the book?

Question #1

Is this book the length the author expected?

1. Yes, it perfectly matches the outline
2. No, its shorter
3. Yes, Neil Gaiman has a format and this book followed it
4. No, its about twice as long

ANSWERd

No, its about twice as long

A merican Gods ended up about twice as long as Neil Gaiman expected. As he was writing, he thought he had a plot going, but it changed and twisted, and he eventually realized it wasnt the main plot at all. With all the twists and turns in this novel, it isnt a surprise that the plot ran away with the author. Neil Gaiman is one of those authors who likes to write without an outline. That approach to writing can often lead to surprises, even for the author, as the story moves along.

Question #2

What is the central premise of the novel?

1. America has a variety of beliefs
2. Gods exist because people believe
3. Even gods cant get in the way of love
4. Gods are a myth and everyone needs to wake up

ANSWER b

Gods exist because people believe

A merican Gods is centered on the idea of thoughts and beliefs being so strong, they can bring something to life. In this novel, gods and mythical creatures are present and living in this modern day world because people believe in them. When our ancestors immigrated to America, they brought with them their stories, religion, beliefs, spirits and gods. These old gods are being slowly forgotten, however, in favor of new gods based on Americas newest fascinations with technology, fame and fortune.
