This book is about the Norsemen's (early Scandinavians') myths. The book starts out with the beginning of time. Then it tells the myths in order (when they happened). At the end Ragnarok happened (the end of the universe). All but two Gods died in Ragnarok, and the two that lived started up the universe again. One of the interesting things I noticed is that the Gods are not immortal, they can die. There was even one tale where Thor lost his hammer, Mjollnir (in English means crusher).

I liked this book pretty well. It was a little slow every once in a while, but it was still a good book. The main reason I like book was because it was Norse mythology, and same goes to my previous book,"Odd and the Frost Giants". The reason I didn't rate the book five stars, other than the book dragged on for a good long time, was because I found some of the myths to be a little boring. Now, most of the myths were pretty interesting, but some of them were just there to introduce a new character. I do recommend this book to anybody who is willing to read it. ( )
