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

Ce que les critiques en disent

"This full-cast performance of the tenth anniversary edition of Neil Gaiman's American Gods (think director's cut) is one of the most mesmerizing audio experiences ever.... Ron McLarty plays a randy, crusty old Odin disguised as a white-collar con man to perfection. Daniel Oreskes's Shadow, the hero who doesn't know quite what he is, is masterful. Oliver Wyman, who did Mad Sweeney the Leprechaun, is a genius. Hats in the air for the whole cast, a flawless production, and a tour de force of a tale." ( AudioFile)

Excellent presentation of Neil Gaiman's classic

I read the hardcopy version of this novel when it first came out and I found as I listened to the audio version that I had forgotten almost everything about the book. The narration by the different voices is very effective and adds a lot to the enjoyment of the story. The story itself is almost a "who-done-it" although it's more like a "why'd you do that?". If you are a fan of Neil Gaiman and you haven't read American Gods, I highly recommend this audio version. It really brings the story to life. Even if you have read the novel, I recommend that you try the audio version. It provides a very rich experience of the story.

A book for certain tastes maybe

I can see why some people would love this book, it has an interesting concept but that was it for me. I found it utterly boring for 75% of it, just a guy walking around talking to people in cafes then in cars then more cafes. It tied together in the end and made it almost worth it with some twists, but some of the build up for a huge "storm" that is hinted never truly delivered. Maybe I don't have great taste but I could have easily gone without this book... it just had nothing for me to cling to.

Thoroughly Excellent

Neil Gaiman's American Gods is an amazing book. I first read it about 10 years ago and found it to be one of the best-written and most original novels I had experienced at the time. With the release of the Tenth Anniversary Edition I thought it was about time to read it again. In this case, I opted for an audio book. And I was not disappointed.
I have major problems with "performances" or otherwise altered versions of books, so I was a bit skeptical about this "full cast production". I needn't have been worried, however, as this audio book takes the one good thing about performances (having different actors for different character voices) without losing any of the words or details that are generally thrown away when adapted to a radio-play type format. You have a full cast in this, but you also have a narrator reading all of Neil Gaiman's words - even down to the interstitial "he said, adjectively". In addition, you get Neil Gaiman himself narrating the "Coming to America" sections.
So, an excellent book, written by an excellent author, and produced in a thoroughly excellent fashion. Hard to go wrong.

Cast performance was great

#Audible1
Having a full cast produce the audiobook is so refreshing when accustomed to a single person using female and male vocals. Very high production value. Book is good but I believe too hyped up from the other reviews I have read before purchase. Get this book even if it’s just for the performances

Brilliant

Haven’t watched the series at all but have listened through the book several times. Extremely well woven. Conceptually very interesting and deep. The characters are so varied and each has their own unique depth. Haven’t listened to any other version but the cast for narration provide colour to the characters.... you end up knowing and missing them when the tale draws to an end.

Boring

Found this book painfully boring. I plowed thru to the end and I was still bored. Wish I could get a refund.

This story dared me to dream again.

This was my first reading of American Gods. I dont think there is a better way to experience it than have it read to you - its closer to a parable and a folk tale than a novel. Having it read to me reminds me of the folk tales I was raised on as a child.

Neil Gaiman after experiencing American Gods is my favourite author. Just amazing prose.

An engrossing tale that pulls you in

This tale is woven in such a way as to suck you in and take you on a ride. A ride across America and through mythos.

Such an incredible story

I wish it was a series. Give me a hundred full size books in a series of this story please. I realize something like that would kill what this story is but I didn't want this book to end. The full cast production only makes this more enjoyable. Don't hesitate, this story is more than worth it.
