"Anansi Boys". I found it at the bookstore this afternoon. Toasts shall be drunk! There will be dancing in the street! Celebrations shall commence!

Khash.

3. I liked it, but it seemed a little off.

Not quite as interesting as American Gods. Sort of a like Neverwhere with all of the good parts extracted. :shrug:

Gaiman is a great writer though. Even his most banal stuff is better than most popular authors.

4. I loved it.

My only complaint was it was a little short. I think he might have rushed it because he has so much on his plate right now with a movie and other projects. I think the characters could have been a little more developed. But, overall, "thumbsup:

5. I really liked it...

...it's funnier and "lighter" than AG, much less dense. Great read, and I always love it when Neil expounds on the metaphysics of storytelling...
