Fantasy & SciFi
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

Otroligt spännande, älskar att alla karaktärer har en egen röstskådespelare.

En välskriven och kreativ historia, med gott om skarp och finurlig humor. Den tappar tyvärr lite fart och driv i ”andra akten”, för att återfå den mot slutet. Jag tyckte om boken, men upplever samtidigt att någonting saknas. Kanske är det att dialogen ibland är mindre djupsinnig än den utger sig för att vara, och att berättelsen är lite väl obskyr. Den behåller spänningen mer genom att låta bli att berätta vissa saker än genom handlingen. Dvs. jag upplever oftast inte att själva berättelsen är spännande (som t.ex. en bra thriller kan vara), utan jag fortsätter att läsa för att få mina frågor besvarade. Hur som helst en bra och annorlunda bok som jag rekommenderar!
