I really don't have much to say about this, other than I loved Neil Gaiman's Anansi Boys. It's everything I love about his writing and then some. Especially after being somewhat disappointed with American Gods (I in no way hated it; I'm glad I read it, but I didn't like it as much as I'd hoped), thi...

Note: The review below was taken directly from my Goodreads account. Anansi Boys is about a man named Fat Charlie Nancy who meets his brother Spider for the first time after their father dies, and then shenanigans and hijinks ensue. This novel is more of a spiritual successor to American Gods th...

I do like Neil Gaiman, very much. However, I am not a big fan of Anansi Boys. This is the third time I've read this book, but the plot was still a surprise to me. For some reason, this book just didn't stick with me in the way his other works do. It's probably a good book, but even now, I'm struggli...

Anansi Boys is not just a story about two brothers meeting each other after a long, and unexplained, separation. It is not just about a man learning his paternity within the god realm. It is not even just a crime story. Granted, it has all of those elements within its pages, but it is so much more t...

I came to this book knowing that Anansi was a spider god, and a god of stories. I'd seen several people rant and rave about how good it was. They weren't wrong. It's a compelling read and excellently put on paper by Neil Gaiman. I would recommend it to people who enjoy a light fiction read. Whe...

Loved this, got it because of American Gods, which I adored & this didn't let me down.

I don't think I've ever read a book by Neil Gaiman that I didn't enjoy. The characters are interesting, the plot moves right along, and I'm always interested in seeing what happens next. One of my favorite things about his books in general, and this one in particular, is that everything that happe...

Lenny Henry's performance is brilliant. I think I liked this more than American Gods.
