Finished reading: American Gods

This book has been standing in my bookcase for ages, and I must admit: by page 10 I feared this wasn't my cup of tea...

But I read on...



... and about 600 pages later I'm happy to say that it grew on me ;) I was initially annoyed by the state of detachment in which Shadow, the protagonist, lived through the events, but when I realized that it wasn't a writing flaw but the essence of the character, I kind of came to love him for it ;)

So yes, I'm happy I finally read this book. Also: HBO is adapting this book into a series, so I'm already looking forward to seeing this story come to life on screen, and - of course ;) - comparing it to the book!!
