### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thor give me strength/ gib mir kraft
*by D***S on August 2, 2006*

If you're looking for a good cheap book on norse mythology then you should buy this book. It starts off with an introduction which tell the kind of roles these myhs played in the lives of the norse. It also helps set you up with some information on some of the god's and how these myths came into being.Then come the stories which start with the creation of the world and it ends with the destruction of it. In all you get 32 stories, most of which deal with the god's interacting with humans, dwarves and their enemies the giants. The stories themselves are told very nicely and they never get dull. The only problem one might have is trying to pronounce some of the names.After the stories he gives information on each story on which source he used and sometimes he had to use differnt sources or how he had to altar some things so that the stories didn't contridict each other. There is also an index and a glossary at the end.I really enjoyed this book for the stories and the history behind them and I would highly reccomend it to anyone who has an interest in the norse myths, young or old.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great stories, readable translations, interesting commentary.  Very well done.
*by L***M on December 4, 2015*

I love this book. It has very readable translations of all the Norse mythology. It has an awesome introduction (maybe 25-30 pages or so?, not too heavy) that covers Norse culture, history, cosmology, and the authors/collectors of the stories. There are also very interesting end notes for each myth commenting on things like one myth's relation to the others, cultural context, alternate versions of the tale, etc. There's a decent sized glossary which is very handy. For me this book is the perfect balance of fun, readable "fairy tales" with a dash of more scholarly commentary for when you want to go deeper. I loved the book the first time through, and pick it up often to read a tale or two from time to time. If you're interested in Norse mythology, but don't have a lot of background in the area, this is the perfect book!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome Book of Retellings That Will Keep You Entertained
*by D***A on August 1, 2014*

This is a super-entertaining, super-accessible retelling of Norse myths ranging from the Theft of Idun's Apples to Ragnarok. Holland has stayed relatively true to the myths, but he has put words in the mouths of the gods and attributed small actions (like grabbing someone by the shoulders) to flesh out the narrative. If you're looking for the myths without any added narrative bits, you should go to the Eddas and not Holland's book of retellings.There are also notes on each myth at the back of the book. These notes really illuminate the different gods, their actions, and the possible symbolic meanings behind them. I also like how Holland was sort of sympathetic to Loki, who's too often cast as the Norse Satan and not attributed the same depth of character as other gods such as Odin or Thor.
