Odd and the Frost Giants Audiobook

" This is a good, quick read with clever writing and an endearing main character. "

" An adorable kid's book based on Norse myth. Cute, and quick. "

" A short little read. It was enjoyable and something I think would be ice to read to a child, it was a little TOO short for me. It didn't allow for as much fleshing out of the story or characters which is what I love most about Gaiman's work. But so quick and cheap, you might as well read it! "

" I dunno, maybe would have liked this as a kid. After reading American Gods, this seemed way too watered down. And also too adult for Colin. "

" Good story, should have been part of a collection. "

" An unlikely hero saves Asgard. A short and sweet read, not lacking in fascinating scenery and good humor, that only a few authors like Gaiman can execute. "

" It was a story about the Norse gods Odin, Thor, and Loki. It was interesting. I haven't read too much Norse mythology. "

" A very cool book indeed. "

" I would give the story itself 3 stars, but the audiobook and author bio rate 5 stars each, so it all evens out at 4 stars. :-D "

" This was a great fable by Neil Gaiman. I can't wait for my oldest daughter to read it to get her take. "

" I fun little middle grade book, my niece Elizabeth would eat this up. "

" Great children story with Gaiman's three favorites Norse gods. "

" When I'm a parent, I'm going to read this to my kids as much as they'll let me. "

" This short book, written for World Book Day, has an appealing protagonist and roots in old Norse mythology. It's pure Gaiman--with little surprises for the careful reader. I think older kids and adults will enjoy this. "

" This is a fun and quick romp through Norse mythology. Good for all ages. "

" It was short and had a good moral. I always like pictures in books and the description of the culture was neat. "

" One chapter a night, starting tonight. "

" Very good characterizations. Love it! "

" This is one of those rare books that would be entertaining and appropriate for anyone of any age. "

" I delight for anyone who likes Norse mythology. Would also make a great winter read aloud with kids. "

" A quick and straight forward read, much like the main character Odd, who quietly and bravely marches away from a mean village to an interesting encounter with a fox, bear and eagle...or are they. "

" I love the simplicity yet vivid imagination invoked by Mr. Gaiman. I listened to this on CD with Neil Gaiman reading it which I'm sure added to the enjoyment. I love listening to him read his own work. "

" An adorable book sprinkled with Norse mythology.<br/><br/>Neil Gaiman wrote it for World Book Day in the UK and it was a perfectly lovely book to read on a warm Sunday evening after seeing Thor:-) "

" I loved this story of the Norse gods. Odd is different kind of hero and I loved the way he handled the Frost Giant. The illustrations were so well done. My teenagers loved this one too - they thought it was really funny. "

" Charming. Topical after seeing Thor. "

" It was short and had a good moral. I always like pictures in books and the description of the culture was neat. "

" Neil Gaiman has done it again, folk-tale style. Made me think of a cross between Stardust's fairy-tale and American Gods' vengeful deities, sewn together with Coraline's buttons. "

" The book was awesome. It was like they put one big myth into a story!!! "

" A modern fairy tale, just the thing I love the most. Written for children, but can be appreciated by all ages. "

" Reading this one to the kids for bedtime. They really enjoy it so far, and Neil's descriptions pull you in, as if in a movie. Great read!<br/><br/>This was a great short read for the kids, they loved it! Norse mythology was cool beans. "

" In the tradition of Gaiman this short novel based on Norse mythology is amazingly written. The characters come to life and the scenery seems to surround you as you read. "

" nice bit of myth, short "
