Publisher Description

Now a STARZ® Original Series produced by FremantleMedia North America starring Ricky Whittle, Ian McShane, Emily Browning, and Pablo Schreiber.

Locked behind bars for three years, Shadow did his time, quietly waiting for the day when he could return to Eagle Point, Indiana. A man no longer scared of what tomorrow might bring, all he wanted was to be with Laura, the wife he deeply loved, and start a new life.

But just days before his release, Laura and Shadow’s best friend are killed in an accident. With his life in pieces and nothing to keep him tethered, Shadow accepts a job from a beguiling stranger he meets on the way home, an enigmatic man who calls himself Mr. Wednesday. A trickster and a rogue, Wednesday seems to know more about Shadow than Shadow does himself.

Life as Wednesday’s bodyguard, driver, and errand boy is far more interesting and dangerous than Shadow ever imagined. Soon Shadow learns that the past never dies . . . and that beneath the placid surface of everyday life a storm is brewing—an epic war for the very soul of America—and that he is standing squarely in its path.

“Mystery, satire, sex, horror, poetic prose—American Gods uses all these to keep the reader turning the pages.”—Washington Post

A new age epic!

Neil Gaiman has beautifully brought to life a lush and satirical portrait of the actual calamity that is the social reality we live in today, while adhering to the old tried and true lone “it all has a purpose”. While the author clearly leans hard on his own romanticized views of the Norse pantheon, it breads thought in the minds of some why isn’t this a commonly discussed theory? The wave of false and or imaginative theories is at an all time high presently, and this piece adds a bit of fabled possibility to the plethora of the divine assumptions. As a fan of both Norse and Neil, I am caught between this and his Norse Mythology on which is my actual top favorite of his works!

One track

This is very well performed. However, the chapters are not divided up. There is only one nearly 20-hour long audio track. This makes it nearly impossible to go back and listen to specific parts. Due to how unwieldy this is, I'm giving this version three stars.

Amazing book and great narrator

Really enjoyed this one. Working on reading all of Neil Gaiman’s books.
