Must have forgotten about that, could you say in a spoiler what you're referring to?tin_robot wrote:The Daddy wrote:I listened to the audio book of American Gods last summer, was good. It was a full cast reading, worked really well. Dunno how it'll hold up on TV though, I think the book might be too fresh in my mind.
They've apparently added a lot for the TV version. Some stuff Gaiman wanted to put in but couldn't due to length, some just made up to make it work on TV. Supposedly the entire finale to series one is a scene that doesn't exist in the book. (Though that could be the usual promotional hyperbole).
I'm looking forward to it, as I suspect it'll be quite a visual feast if nothing else.

And Essex boy thinks there's penguins flying past the island.
