Hello everyone you’re watching Must-Read
TV, where we present to you one book in one
minute!
Today’s book is Norse Mythology by Neil
Gaiman.
Let’s start!
So the premise is very simple, Norse mythology
is the stuff of metal fairytales and let me
tell you I am here for it
You really can’t go wrong with this very
classic yet simple concept.
It’s really easy to mess this up, but Gaiman
manages to avoid this
Think of this story a bit like a coloring
book – where all of the lines and structures
are there
but Gaiman adds all of his own color and his
own shading with his characters and his ideas
If you were a kid, you remember browsing Wikipedia
late at night about Norse mythology and you
really want it more, this is a book for you
Gaiman does a really excellent job of weaving
a tale with his own little bits of information
and he interconnects everything by himself
Gaiman takes some familiar myths and makes
them his own.
So, I give the plot 3/5 stars.
So, the setting.
Valhalla and Hell, on the verge of Ragnarok.
So very metal.
5/5 for setting
For the characters.
We have the North gods Odin, Thor, Loki and
Freya.
These are the most metal characters in existence
So I give the characters 5/5 for
So, lets sum up our impressions.
With 3 stars for plot, and 5 stars for characters
and 5 stars for setting, Norse Mythology by
Neil Gaiman is a must-read.
