I actually really liked that part in the story. A businessman and a cab driver (one's a demon, but I forget which - the cab driver, probably). They have sex, and then in the morning, they just... switch lives, calmly and if it were an obvious forgone conclusion. If I'm honest, I think it's my favorite part.

Brian Fuller doesn't pull any punches, and I love him for it.

I was quite surprised to see that sex scene (mom was in the room). I bet the ISIS weren't too happy with that one lmao!

>shifting to hatred of "plebs" instead of Muslims because you know that every other Muslim wants you dead for being gay

>>9627448
have there been other, less explicit gay sex scenes between male muslim characters in tv history?

forget the memes for a moment. i kind of liked the tv show so i wondered if the novel might be worth reading. im interested how the different story elements are implemented in the stroy line.
>has anyone ever read that fucking book or are you just memeing it into shit to protest these SJW article shit

I did read it, and it wasn't bad. A couple of the side stories were nice (like I said, I enjoyed the life switching one most), but it was also kind of convoluted. Too much happened, and I can't remember a clear thread through that held it much together. There were some interesting ideas, some fun bits, some fun characters, but if you want to read neil gaiman for the first time, I'd suggest Neverwhere.

>>9627604
OP, calm down, I like the show too. I was genuinely wondering if the explicit scene had an intense backlash. I could imagine someone tweeting it to ISIS members to piss them off.

I haven't read the book but from what I've heard is that it's a fun, dark yet breezy beach read. The prose doesn't seem spectacular or anything but if you like Neil Gaiman's other works (and btw I do like The Ocean at the End of the Lane a lot) then I would assume you'd enjoy it.

i watched mike and dave need wedding dates yesterday and it was surprisingly fun and im not sayin that just because anna kendrick is my waifu for laifu

>>9627604
It's a disjointed, unfocused mess. Read ocean at the end of the lane instead.

>>9627604
Gaiman is a better writer than Stephen King, but it's on the same level. Expect that.

But King could never have shown the level of attention to mythology that Gaiman does though, because Gaiman loves that shit. He has the Norse gods in a lot of his shit. It's a hobby horse of his.

The style is also intended to be pulpy, gritty. I have no clue why people are trying to force the opening line as a meme. It's actually perfect. The style is meant to contrast with the grandeur of mythological element. He's showing how far they've fallen, the idea of the gods. He also tries to say something interesting about America and what it represents.

It's middlebrow at worse, one of the last books I would've ever expected to get focused hate when there is SO much more deserving shit.

>>9627743
Don't worry, it's not a meme. There's just one asshole who always posts this and that poppy z brite book synopsis. He does it every two days or so, and always at the same time, like it's going to catch on, or something, but nobody actually gives a shit. It's actually pathetic.

>>9627646
I don't see how anybody can dislike anything with The Rock in it.

Middle-brow entertainment is the true evil. Low-brow only catches the attention of idiots, middle-brow wastes the time of people who could read high-brow if they cared to.

>>9627763
Name the last five books you've read, faggot.

>>9627801
Does Book of the New Sun count as one book or four? Before that there were Swastika Night by Katherine Burdekin, Legend, by David Gemmel, The Last Unicorn and A Fine and Private Place, both by Peter Beagle.

>>9627808
Mr. Highbrow, I presume.

>>9627812
Swastika Night is better than 1984 and Brave New World.

>>9627814
I'm impressed.

>>9627808
the last unicorn is very comfy

>>9627738
This but not necessarily in a bad way. Almost dreamlike at times.

My favourite part of American Gods was the town Shadow finds himself in several times 'on vacation' from the larger plot point about the Old and New Gods going to war. I read the Author's Preferred Text version.
