I had the opposite experience with American Gods. Couldn't stop even if I wanted to because I kept asking what's behind the corner. I found the book very exciting, not heavy. But then again I like not necessarily heavy but definitely dark, edgy and books that don't shy away from violence. So maybe it takes a lot for me to call something "heavy". I would probably use that attribute for some boring classic like Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky.
As for today's daily deals, I haven't heard of any of the authors so I wouldn't buy anything
