American Gods

[frelling_tralk]

I'm really intrigued by American Gods, it looks absolutely fantastic in the trailer, and I was already thinking of checking it out anyway because Bryan Fuller is adapting it. (I'm a little bit surprised that it isn't going to be out until 2017 though, I always thought that they start working on it towards the end of 2015 after Hannibal finished, so I was expecting it out this year tbh)

Has anyone read the book, if so how did you find it, and do you think that it would it be worth catching up on before the tv show airs?

American Gods is my favourite of Gaiman's novels, so I definitely recommend it. Like the others said, it's very dense, but Gaiman writes absolutely gorgeous prose. And I don't think it's a problem that you don't usually like fantasy because I'd argue that at their core, Gaiman's books are only marginally more fantastic than, say, Hannibal :)

(which is why I think that Gaiman and Fuller are a perfect match, and based on the trailer that really does seem to be the case)

It's sounding more and more like a book that I should enjoy, so I'm definitely going to try and get around to reading it before the show comes out :)

I agree with ruuger that Gaiman and Fuller seem like a perfect match, so I've been pretty interested in seeing how this turns out. It's been so long since I've read American Gods that I actually don't remember it that well (I should re-read!), but the trailer looks great and the casting has been amazing.
