American Gods

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 one of Neil Gaiman's most controversial works, even he says so. It's a bit consistently darker than some of his others. As others have said it is dense. And often sad/macabre. But absolutely worth reading. It's one of those books that stays with you for years after reading it.

Interesting, darkness and sadness are usually what appeal to me in books, so that actually entices me to read them even more! I prefer the books that really stay with you after you've finished them

Then you'll probably love it.
