It's been a while since the last time I read Neil Gaiman's book. It's not because i lost interest, but more because i can afford that much effort. These past few years, reading has became my solace, my way to gain solitude, to distract me from something that i don't know how to solve, yet it's never ending, so i chose not to face it. That's why i prefer book that was really light, mind numbing, and did not demand anything from me but time. 
 Reading Gaiman's was never like that. It was a whole different experience. It's not something you used to stop thinking or feeling, but it's what you do when you want to treat yourself. It something you do when you think you deserve something good, something rich, and enlighten. 
 So, about the book. When you talk about Norse Mythology, i cant help but thinking the Marvel version. Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston would always be Thor and Loki for me. I'm sorry but i cant help it, it too ingrained in my brain. So when i read this book, i pictured them as those two actors. 
 Beside, the characters in this book were not that different. Loki was evil but still endearing. Thor was strong, but probably not that naive or gullible or, well, stupid. Neiman way of telling their story was captivating (well, duh). He introduced you to so many more gods. Some of them you've heard, the others, not so much. 
 Then he introduced you to the giants. And then you realized, they were not all ugly or unattractive. They not always the enemy. And sometimes, they were the victims. 
 And then of course, there's Odin. Odin the all father. Odin who sacrificed his eye to gain wisdom. But in the end, when he needed it the most, he chose to believed in his fear. And doomed everything. 
 I like these Vikings' gods better than the Greek ones. Those greek are crazy, and cant keep it in their pants. The norse god were more noble, not that malicious, and good. They didn't feel threaten by human, or jealous. They have enemy, of course, but they didn't seek problems just for fun. 
 This book leave me wanting more. I want to know them better, i want to follow their journey, i want to know their lives, their fears, their hope, and of course about their powers. 
 I wonder, will Neil Gaiman write more about them.
