Keep going
Youre confused on purpose
I read the whole thing, but I was still confused by the end. I didn’t think it was worth it to push through to the end, tbh.
Neil Gaiman’s books are always a slow burn. With this book i had to make it a little past halfway before things started to click & interest me
It can be a little hazy at first, I did find it useful to keep a running list of who is who.
I liked some parts but it felt tedious to get through.
It is both intriguing and confusing. ? The show is good, puts a face to the characters.
I read a lot of Neil Gaiman’s book and his writing sometimes can confuse me too Hahahahha ? but I like American God
I read it years ago so I can’t even remember what happened lol
He has a very erratic writing style but a brilliant imagination
I listend to it on Audiobook and OMG it was so amazing. I kept thinking “WTF” until I was a little past halfway through then BOOM. It was awesome. Best audiobook I’ve ever listened to (it was the full cast version and honestly it was so amazing)
I love Neil Gaiman’s unique imagination. Some of his writing I have to push through but I love the magical realism in his stories. He’s one of my favorite authors. American Gods & Anansi Boys were most difficult for me out of all of his books I’ve read. End game, the story is worth it though.
Loooooveeee ittt
Stick with it. It’ll be worth it in the end. Neil Gaiman is a wonderful author. I’m reading Norse Mythology by him right now.
Its an unsettling but very smart novel. Stick with it.
Yeah that’s kinda the feeling you’re supposed to have lol. Great ending though. Keep going
Loved it!!!
Yep! I was confused for most of the book
Yepp!! It was really good but ya a bit confusing at times. Listening to the audiobook helped
Yes, it’s complicated for sure
Keep going and I’ve re-read it a few times too. Love that book ?
Yup read it a few times it’s one of my favorite books ever.
I’ve reread it at least three times, but I’m listening to it with my Mom right now. And I still just noticed a bit of foreshadowing I missed on my three previous rereads. There is a lot going on and most of it will be resolved pretty well at the end, but going back through there are all sorts of fun bits to notice.
Audiobook with the full cast is the best!!
Loved it!
Loved it! Some parts are a little slower, but over all a great read!
Loved it. The TV show was excellent too!
It’s really good. I enjoyed it, especially since I love mythology
I did. I hated the beginning, loved the middle, hated the ending. ?
I did, it was confusing a bit but so cool in the ending. I ended up really liking it!!
Loved it
Yes… Loved it ?
My fave book of his (good omens is a close second). There is a TV series of American gods as well, which isn’t what I expected, but still good!
