I have said before that I would probably listen to Neil Gaiman read the phone book.
This is not the phone book. This is a really fun and fascinating retelling of Norse legends that stick predominantly to mythic language and the sense of movement you find in myths, but sprinkled throughout with Gaiman's little embellishments that make the characters feel grounded and come to life.
This book makes for excellent bedtime stories if you don't mind all the murder.
