Really, what's not to love here. 
 My only experience with mythology so far has been Bullfinch's, and while I get they are classics, I found them to be a bit dry. Neil Gaiman brings his own what I can only call "Neil Gaiman-ness" to Norse mythology and I loved every minute of it. What pushed this from something I really enjoyed to something I absolutely loved was the way that he narrates his audiobooks. He is a truly gifted storyteller. I felt like I was a kid and I had a favorite uncle reading to me. And I mean that in the non--creepiest way possible. His love of storytelling and myths really shines through and it's contagious. He tells these stories with heart and humor and that little something that is uniquely his. 
 Loved it.
