I watched American Gods on TV when it came out and I thought it was ones of the neatest shows. I came away from it changed in some ways (my gauge of a good work of art). I know that I’ve enjoyed any book I’ve read more than the show or movie but l've never gone in the reverse order-reading the book after watching the show- despite trying to read Foundation for months.
It was confusing and I couldn't get invested enough to try to sort it out. I actually stopped watching the show and didn’t start the second season, because I didn't care about the characters anymore after trying to read the book.
I'm wondering if reading American Gods is worth it for someone who's seen the show first. (I also read the first bit of Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere and I wasn't taken by it)
