The saddest part of this book for me was at the end when Shadow wanted to see Sam Black Crow or "girl-Sam" one last time. Those two really got along and she really was an interesting, fun character just like many of Gaiman's characters. When Shadow wants to see her, she doesn't acknowledge him and walks by him for he is just a shadow (get it?) at the end. I felt really bad for him as Sam couldn't remember it was him who gave her the flowers and he didn't give a proper goodbye to the only real friend he made in the story  :(
