I have recently been reading American Gods by Neil Gaiman. I've really liked his writing style in the past and enjoyed other books by him but I'm having trouble getting into this one. I feel like I'm maybe missing the point so far. Does anyone have any discussion points/insight on it? If so, what did you like about it? This thread is archived New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast level 1 You should completely ignore Shadow, he's not important. The entire story is what goes on around him. Shadow is just the axis that the world spins on. level 2 That's an interesting way to do it. It's like the way we study the sun, put a disc in front of it... level 2 I think this is why, both times I've read the book, I didn't enjoy the last ~100 pages. As soon as Wednesday dies, I lose all interest in the book. Even though there are long stretches of the book where that character is absent, I was always reading with the anticipation of getting back to him. That was what kept me going.

Now discover the mystery and magic of American Gods in this tenth anniversary edition. Newly updated and expanded with the author's preferred text, this commemorative volume is a true celebration of a modern masterpiece by the one, the only, Neil Gaiman. A storm is coming… Locked behind bars for three years, Shadow did his time, quietly waiting for the magic 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.

Sequels [ edit | edit source] Shadow's journey continues in the novella The Monarch of the Glen and the short story Black Dog. Mr. Nancy also has a follow-up story in Anansi Boys, which started out as an idea Neil Gaiman came up with prior to writing American Gods. [3] Neil Gaiman has stated that he is planning on writing a sequel to American Gods. [4] Trivia [ edit | edit source] When asked about product placements in American Gods, Neil Gaiman explained that the presence of numerous brands in the novel was merely a reflection of how in modern society one is often surrounded by brand names. He also specifies that he had a a lot of fun inventing plausible-sounding brands to include alongside the real ones. [5] Neil Gaiman explained that he tried himself all of the coin tricks mentionned in the novel in order to describe them in the most realistic way (he used the manual "Bobo's Modern Coin Magic").
