À propos de cet audio

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)

I purchased this simply because I had watched the series on Prime and liked it so I thought this would be a good listen. I was so incredibly blown away. Gaiman's words painted a vivid picture for me of Shadow's journey. The full cast production was outstanding, the voices truly brought to life the story and my biggest disappointment was having it finish. Not to be cliche but I really enjoyed the audio book so much more than the series. I have listened to Stephen King's the stand 3 times now and I know I will be listening to American Gods many more times. I listen to audio books to provide an escape while I am doing mundane tasks, this book had me listening purely for the performance of a great story.

Wonderful Journey

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.

Such an incredible story

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.

An engrossing tale that pulls you in

I was on the fence about getting this book, but when it went on sale I figured I’d give it a whirl. To say I was happy I did would be an understatement - this was one of those books that you just don’t get bored listening too. I’d put it on at night when I went to bed, set the timer for 15 minutes and I’d keep extending the timer over and over again! So worth it! If I knew then what I know now, I’d have paid full price!

Outstanding story and narration!

The story is interesting and entertaining. Worth the listen. The performance is pretty bad. Seems quite amateur. I expected better for a book of this stature.

Good Story, Annoying Performance

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.

This story dared me to dream again.

Funny, poignant, profound... It's got a bit of everything. An interesting take on belief. It's also got quite a bit of Wikipedia fodder in it. I learned a lot about world religions as a result. I was immediately drawn in by the story. Multiple actors in the performance were a big bonus.

Meaty Stuff!
