god what a tale

I’d be hard pressed to choose between American Gods or GOT.

The performances, story and overall deliciousness astound.

I have no idea what I missed in the first go around and I cannot wait to find out.

Bravo! Yay! Winning!

Amazing in every way

I loved this book from the very first chapter, it was intriguing, well paced and the voice actors were fantastic, they really brought the book to life.

Intricate, sublimely written book

Where does American Gods rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Look it's not my favourite Neil Gaiman book and it's not one that I will probably listen to over and over again, but I'm definitely glad I did listen to it.

What other book might you compare American Gods to, and why?

I actually don't think there's anyone out there that I have come across that even compares to Neil Gaiman, his mind is intricately deep.

What about Neil Gaiman and George Guidall ’s performance did you like?

I liked the warmth in their voices. I loved it when Neil came on and read his parts.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

God's gone mad!

Any additional comments?

I honestly think this book may be better read. Sometimes you come across books that cover so much and are so in depth that its nice to be able to dwell upon the words written on the page and reflect upon what the author has written. With an audio book this is harder to do.

Loved it

It's an interesting take on how the idea of different Gods come into been, what humans want from worship and how old ideas never die. I loved it. Hopefully the television series will do it justice.

Stayed up til 2am to finish!

Would you consider the audio edition of American Gods to be better than the print version?

I absolutely do! There's something about listening to the author read his own work, and the artists he's hand chosen to bring his characters to life.

What was one of the most memorable moments of American Gods?

The crazy twist in Part 3

Which scene did you most enjoy?

If I told you that, you'd understand an underlying part of the plot that you need to hear for yourself.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The meeting of Mr. Wednesday.

Any additional comments?

Read this, I promise you, you will want to relisten to it right away! I hope the Starz show lives up to it.

Second read, loved it!!

Neil Gaiman knows how to spin a story. Absolutely rivetting. Some parts were a bit philosophical and I got turned a little around, but I reckon that was the point.

An absolutely amazing story

If you are looking for adventure, myth, magic, compassion, heartache, longing, resolution, war and peace - look no further, this book has it all.

I listen to a lot of audiobooks and the style of narrative in this book is the best I have ever heard. I will be listening to this for years to come and recommending to everyone I have ever met.

Engaging Listen.

Loved the performances for the characters of Shadow and Wednesday - thinking back, most voices are spot on. Loved how Neil Gaiman gave a little insight to his writing of this book. I'd love to travel and explore America in the eyes of a Demigod.
