Thoughts after reading American Gods that I haven't finished yet.
I felt pretty good. After reading the trial chapter, I immediately bought the full version and planned to finish the book.
I heard it looks good. I've seen a quarter of it. I don't know what to say.
Sweeney (awesome character)
Sweeney dies in both the book and the show
The name looks domineering.
It's really not that good
To be honest, it's not that good. The story concept is very good and the background is huge. However, the plot is really lackluster and the ending is not surprising. I can only say that it is a very creative and good novel, but I personally feel that it is not worthy of those recommendations.
I watched the game and liked it very much. Jiangnan happened to recommend it and I read the book.
