Now a TV Series produced by FremantleMedia North America available internationally on Amazon, exclusively through Prime Video and 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.

Geschichte
Returning to the territory he so brilliantly explored in his masterful New York Times best seller American Gods, the incomparable Neil Gaiman offers up a work of dazzling ingenuity, a kaleidoscopic journey deep into myth that is at once startling, terrifying, exhilarating, and fiercely funny, a true wonder of a novel that confirms Stephen King's glowing assessment of the author as "a treasure house of story, and we are lucky to have him."

Geschichte
Neil Gaiman has long been inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction. Now he turns his attention back to the source, presenting a bravura rendition of the great northern tales. In Norse Mythology, Gaiman fashions primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds; delves into the exploits of the deities, dwarves, and giants; and culminates in Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods and the rebirth of a new time and people.

Geschichte
There is a hint of Armageddon in the air. According to the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (recorded, thankfully, in 1655, before she blew up her entire village and all its inhabitants, who had gathered to watch her burn), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. So the Armies of Good and Evil are massing, the four Bikers of the Apocalypse are revving up their mighty hogs and hitting the road, and the world's last two remaining witchfinders are getting ready to Fight the Good Fight.

Geschichte
A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a funeral. He is drawn to the farm at the end of the road, where, when he was seven, he encountered a most remarkable girl, Lettie Hempstock. Forty years earlier, a man committed suicide in a stolen car at this farm at the end of the road. Like a fuse on a firework, his death lit a touchpaper and resonated in unimaginable ways. The darkness was unleashed, something scary and thoroughly incomprehensible to a little boy. And Lettie - magical, comforting, wise beyond her years - promised to protect him, no matter what.

Ganz in Ordnung, aber...
...es hätte dem Buch bzw., der Geschichte sehr gut getan, sie in mehrere Teile aufzuteilen. Zwei oder ggf auch drei. Gaiman ist ein guter Geschichtenerzähler, aber man merkt es American Gods an, dass versucht wurde, viel zu viel Material in dieses eine Buch zu stecken. Die Story ist sehr kompakt und vielschichtig, ich denke, wenn sie etwas entzerrt worden wäre, hätte man besser auf Einzelheiten und Hintergründe eingehen können.

Inventive story with a bonus treat
American Gods is an enjoyable, rather wild trip through America and international myths and mythologies. It's fun and exciting, but rather longish at times. That might be due to the audiobook adaptation as well - there are a lot of pauses, long pauses. Reading the novel is a tour de force for the presenter, which is probably why his breathing is quite dominant sometimes. It's a good performance on the whole, but not perfect. A nice treat is the bonus interview with the author Neil Gaiman at the end though.

Neil Gaiman at his best
There are Storytellers, Master Storytellers and Grandmasters of storytelling.
To my mind Neil Gaiman has managed to enter the ranks of the Grandmasters like S.King and Terry Pratchett.
Entertaining, thrilling and brilliant till the end.

Brilliant and amazing!
I fell utterly in love with the book, so I couldn't wait for the series! When it aired I just had to buy the audio version as well & I am delighted, how perfectly they had chosen the speaker, and how beautifully he carried out his job.
I got lost in time as it almost felt ethereal - so out of this world, but still so connected to modern lifestyle and the great plague of the 21 century: loneliness & searching for a purpose - oftentimes through identifying with various religions/believe systems.
