Publisher's Summary

The great Norse myths are woven into the fabric of our storytelling - from Tolkien, Alan Garner and Rosemary Sutcliff to Game of Thrones and Marvel Comics. They are also an inspiration for Neil Gaiman's own award-bedecked, best-selling fiction. Now he reaches back through time to the original source stories in a thrilling and vivid rendition of the great Norse tales. Gaiman's gods are thoroughly alive - irascible, visceral, playful and passionate - and the tales carry us from the beginning of everything to Ragnarök and the twilight of the gods. Galvanised by Gaiman's prose, Thor, Loki, Odin and Freya are irresistible forces for modern listeners, and the crackling, brilliant writing demands to be heard around an open fire on a freezing, starlit night.

A Different & A Real Perspective

Loved it. Specially recommended for all gamers and Marvel movie fans out there. The story differs from what we know from Marvel or Age Of Mythology or even the latest PS4 God Of War game. It gives us a different yet real perspective of Nords Gods and their world.

Also I really loved the narration done by the Author Neil Gaiman, it was as if my grandpa was telling me the story with different voice given to every character as part of the book.

Thank you Neil Gaiman and Audible for bringing this story together :)

Wonderful

Wonderful work again by Mr. Gaiman, this book has retelling of many Norse Myths. Like most my knowledge about Norse mythology was through Marvel and their effort with the character of THor and Loki, Though I was aware of few mythological facts about the characters thanks to Gaiman's own 'American Gods' curiously enough I knew about many of the Myth told by Gaiman here in Rick Riordan's Magnus Chase trilogy. That series by Riordan had many characters whose story is told by Gaiman whether Gods or Giants.

But still it was very interesting, and I loved the narration by Mr. Gaiman himself. This is the first Audio book I got after Audible is finally introduced in India so YAY!!!!. Loved the experience once again and finished this audiobook in under 5 hours.

So whether you know some bit from Marvel movies or know a little bit more due to Riordan's series give it chance for another wonderful experience with Norse Mythology and then just Keep on Reading.

Sorted retelling of the Norse mythology

This book gives an organised telling of the Norse mythology. It is the perfect read if you want to start explore the genre.
Neil Gaiman's voice over, helps convey the emotions in the story further.

Fine narration by Neil Gaiman

As a Gaiman fan, I would have downloaded any of his audiobooks. But this particular one caught my attention because I was curious to hear his version of Norse mythology. Gaiman brings to life all the heroic characters spicing their stories with humour, witty one-liners and soul. Thoroughly loved it.

Could feel the warmth of the tales.

I acknowledge my knowledge of the Norse gods bore from whatever I could muster from comics and tv show references. Thanks to Gaiman, now I'm already hooked. He achieved what he aimed for. His stories made me retell them, experience them over and over again.

It's a great revision of norse mythology

Always knew parts and pieces from different pop culture references but this was a fun retelling of the important parts of Norse Mythology all leading up to Ragnarok!
