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.

A wonderful book. the narrator's voice is pleasant but the racist accents made me very uncomfortable. I don't know that there needs to be such voice acting.

A wonderful story. The racist accents, not so much

A journey into a weird America. A story about men, gods, and how you'd rather be a man.

[EN] I dived into this book to get ready for the TV show adaptation and I don't regret it! I found that some parts in the middle of the book were a bit too slow but overall I really enjoyed it. The characters are very unique and they're one of the main reasons I loved this story.
The interpretation is pretty great. The only downside for me was that it was hard at times to follow without seeing the characters' names in writing (though it may be mainly because I'm not a native English speaker).

[FR] Je me suis lancée dans la lecture de ce roman en prévision de la sortie de la série et je ne regrette pas ! J'ai trouvé qu'il y avait un petit "ventre mou", quelques longueurs au milieu du récit mais dans l'ensemble j'ai beaucoup aimé. Les personnages sont très originaux et sont un gros point fort de l'histoire.
La narration est vraiment bonne. En revanche c'est parfois un peu difficile de suivre sans avoir les noms des personnages sous les yeux, je me suis légèrement perdue par moment.

A storm is coming

I loved everything about this audiobook, from the narrator to the captivating story, to the quaint interview with the author at the end!

I love the way that Neil Gaiman brings forth the archetypal world in all of his writing and American Gods must probably be my favorite of it all. It’s a way of diving deep into figures that speak to our unconscious while being exquisitely entertained

I love it!
