yeah ... i am not sure i would say that it was a horrible read, but lazy project really fits the bill. you can read the poetic or prose edda in a variety of translations, and other people with more expertise have attempted the same project (i read one a few years ago, think it was penguin). gaiman's verve or flair nowhere really on display, and as mentioned, he is not an academic or an expert (he didn't translate the works).
Edit: Look, Gaiman even blurbed this book! Jeez.
