    Brilliant! Adds both lost real meaning and modern rationality to the Norse Myths
  

*by R***K on Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2017*

Harris is apparently one (along with certain Norwegian musicians) of not a lot of people who actually understand things. Stories are stories whether they were written by Harris, Snorri Sturluson, or long-dead annonymous poets. What is important is using one's literary interpretation skills that one should have learned in school to understand the meaning. Harris uses Loki as a means to add both lost real meaning and modern rationality to the Norse Myths. For example, Loki is the offspring of two Jotuns. What does that mean, the son of two literal "giants," as in really big people? No. Jotuns are forces of nature. Thus, (p. 18-19 of the hardback) "My father was a lightning-strike and my mother was a pile of dry twigs." (Farbauti=cruel striker, therefore, lightning strike meets Laufey=leafy sprig, a.k.a. nal=needle, therefore, evergreen needles, resulting in Wildfire). Of course, even if you hit some people over the head with a book, they are still going to insist on things like literal versions of the English word giant or the whole monotheistic/poltical religion view of good vs. evil, seeing everything as a straight line rather than a circle... Anyway, Harris's combination of understanding, excellent writing, and her own creativity keep me drawn to this book. I did not want to put it down and did not want it to end. The only things I didn't really care for are Fenris (Fenrir) as a werewolf instead of a wolf and the intent in "Ransom." This Sigyn is so awful, I actually feel sorry for Loki; one understands why Loki is "not naturally monogamous." Trying not to give too much away, I like the whole theory behind this book and Runemarks and Runelight regarding a certain disembodied head; it works logically and adds a new perspective to the old stories. The humor of this book gets mentioned a lot in reviews, but what's even better to me are lines like "And just for a moment, I almost believed that neither of us was lying."

    A fun romp through Asgard with Loki
  

*by L***X on Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2020*

The Gospel According to Loki, by Joanne Harris, is told from the point of view in the voice of bad boy Trickster Loki. The Trickster’s captivating ability to tell a tale is almost bewitching enough to elicit an inkling of sympathy from the reader, yet anyone who has ever read Norse mythology knows how the story ends. Loki is never the hero. Maybe he could have been if the tale had unfolded differently, if the tables had been turned a bit in his favor. Destined to be more of a villain and an anti-hero, he is still able to persuade us to wish for a glimmer of hope at the end. Loki’s personality, cunning, and self-admiration shine through his words in this fun romp celebrating the glorious days and the final moments of Odin, Thor, Loki, and the rest of the Aesir in Asgard.

    I LOVED this book. I thought it was funny and a great read.
  

*by A***H on Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2015*

I’ve read a lot of book based on different myths ( mostly Greek myths). I think Norse mythology has to be my favorite. Like most people I like Loki’s sarcasm and pranks he pulls. I also enjoy Tom Hiddleston’s portrays of Loki in the movies.  But as far as where he came from and the rest of the background to his stories and pranks I knew little about.  ( I’m a bigger fan of Odin and Freya out of all the Norse Gods)That all being said. I LOVED this book. I thought it was funny and a great read.  It brought some wonderfully funny and intriguing incite to why Loki acted the way he did and told stories from his side of things.  I’m not sure how all this compares to the actual Norse myths but it did make me want to read more of the actual myths just to compare them to Loki’s versions.You got your wonderful mythology, humor, crazy antics and of course Loki’s poor me attitude ( He really does try to make it seem like everything his did wasn’t all his fault)  I found this to be a fun entertaining read. It was rather long and wasn’t one of the books I could sit and read all night but I would enjoy two to four chapters a day.  When I get a chance to read all the Norse Myths I plan on revisiting this story again.
