Valhalla - Tom Holt

I picked this book more or less at random since none of my holds were coming in and I was low on reading material. The quote on the cover proclaimed that it was "Brilliantly funny" but maybe I just don't get his sense of humor because I found it to be more "Oddly disjointed". I guess it was fine as mindless entertainment goes, I certainly wasn't looking for any depth, but he came off as trying to copy Douglas Adams and not quite getting it right. It didn't help that I found all of the main characters (except the reincarnation of Atilla the Hun) to be whiny and annoying. Odin included.
