thecaptainsquarters 's review for:

Odd and the Frost Giants by Neil Gaiman
5.0

Ahoy there me mateys! Since beginning to listen to audiobooks this year, I have become determined to listen to Neil Gaiman read as many of his own stories as I can. I have a wee bit of an obsession with Mr. Gaiman and so when I had a short bit of time I decided to listen to this one.

This be a cute story about a young Viking named Odd and the adventure he goes on to help reclaim the city of the Gods from the Frost Giants. I adore Odd and had a lovely time hearing him deal with Thor, Loki, and Odin.

Apparently this is a retelling of a known tale. I don’t know the Norse myths very well. Perhaps I have to listen to Norse Mythology soon. This story was middle grade but (as always) I don’t put age limits on things. So pick this one up!

Side note: Mr. Gaiman’s voice was so wonderful that I didn’t need the illustrations. Arrr!
