AMERICAN GODS BY NEIL GAIMAN

AMERICAN GODS BY NEIL GAIMAN.  What can one say about a book that you couldnt finish ?  There was NO plot that I could find. It was like walking into the middle of a mystery and being expected to know what the heck is going on! I guess I just didnt like what little I read of the book. My fault or the authors?  A friend who recommended the book loved it. To each his own I guess.
