So this is a thing now, and I fucking love it. Who /hype/ here?
>>
>>67881121
Hype as a muthafookin beast, mate
>>
>>67882398
>>67881121
The books good I assume?

Should I read it before the movie?
>>
>>67881121
>Neil Gaiman
Possibly the worst fiction writer in modern history. Below John Green, and I mean that seriously
>>
>>67882448
Its terrible, this is going to suck dick
>>
>>67882448
It's to be a TV series. I liked the idea of the book, just not the writing. Not that the actual writing is bad, I just didn't like the type of writing.

The book is kind of written episodically too so not sure how popular that will be for a TV show even if McShane has me hyped.
>>
>>67881121
Shits going to be awesome. Mcshane and Browning are like on the opposite ends of the acting spectrum from each other
>>
>>67882448
A lot of people praise it as Gaiman's best work, but it really isn't. Hell, it's not even as good as The Graveyard Book.
>>
>>67882608
This plus Fuller, I'm totally hyped.
>>
>>67882492
He is pretty good. I like that one story of his where a person gets stuck in some weird and different world and has an adventure and then at the end has a choice to stay there or return to regular word
>>
>Shadow had done three years in prison. He was big enough and looked don't-fuck-with-me enough that his biggest problem was killing time. So he kept himself in shape, and taught himself coin tricks, and thought a lot about how much he loved his wife.
It reads like an edgy middle schooler's attempt at creative writing. He actually named his protagonist "Shadow" ffs
>>
>>67882690
Neil Gayman used to write funny books. This was one of his first attempts at writing a real book
>>
>>67882690
They'll probably say it's a nickname he picked up or something.

Makes me wonder how they'll handle Low Key though
>>
Got halfway through the book and got bored tbf
>>
>>67882850
I was only able to get through it because I was on vacation and had no good wi-fi

I was sort of glad to have read it (especially with the upcoming series) but not happy to read it
>>
>>67882690
Yeah and the real Odins son is named Baldur, i.e. Light. But i am sire this has nothing to do wirh the namechoice....
>>
>>67882947

Sounds like a show that will really make you think.
>>
Dropped the book when Shadow starts watching I Love Lucy creepypasta. What a piece of overhyped garbage.
>>
MC got cucked, /tv/ will fucking love this
