Es que no hay nada sagrado? Dias antes de salir de prision, la mujer de Sombra, Laura, muere en un misterioso accidente de coche. Aturdido por el dolor, emprende el regreso a casa. En el avion, se encontrara con el enigmatico senor Miercoles, que dice ser un refugiado de una guerra antigua, un dios y tambien el rey de America. Juntos se embarcan en un viaje extrano a traves de los Estados Unidos, mientras una tormenta de dimensiones epicas amenaza con desencadenarse. Poco a poco descubriremos que Miercoles es una encarnacion de Odin y que esta reclutando viejos dioses, cuyos poderes han disminuido por el tiempo y la falta de creyentes, para participar en una guerra contra los nuevos dioses: aquellos que conforman la tecnologia moderna. / After being locked behind bars, Shadow just wanted to be with his loved wife Laura and start a new life. Along the way he will learn that the past never dies; that everyone, including his beloved Laura, harbors secrets; and that dreams, totems, legends, and myths are more real than we know. He will discover that beneath the placid surface of life a storm is brewing.

This alternate version is the first time I checked out this story, so I can't compare how it is to the original text. The first part of the story ...
I'm not usually an audio book person, the one person reading with just changing voice doesn't distance characters enough for me, so when I saw this was an ensemble cast, I jumped all over it. I watched the show on Starz before listening to this and was pleasantly surprised at how closely the show...
I read American Gods once and became good at USA geographyMan, I nearly gave this book only 3 stars. I was simply enjoying the fun roadtrip and then visiting Gods and hearing them rant about how hard their lives were, so going through the chapter where Shadow decides he'll sacrifice himself and gets...
