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?

I really enjoyed the book and can't wait to see how they adapt it to screen! I'm glad it's going to be a TV series, it feels like they can do the story justice.

It's got such a great cast as well!

It's definitely looking like they've put a lot of care and attention into every aspect of the show, hopefully it will pay off :)

I agree, when it comes to favourite books of mine, I often feel like a tv mini-series is a much better format than a 2/3 hour movie with a condensed story would be. I'm cautiously excited to see how The Stand will turn out as a film trilogy for example, ditto with It, but I can't help feeling like you really need a mini-series (preferably with the budget of a cable network like HBO) to really do every aspect of the story justice
