Book Review: Anansi Boys
Anansi Boys
by Neil Gaiman
Copyright 2005
ISBN: 0-06-051518-X
Fat Charlie's father just died. Even in a normal family, the death of your father leads to all sorts of changes in your life. When your father (unbeknownst to you) was the African trickster god Anansi, these changes can be overwhelmingly strange. Fat Charlie meets his brother Spider for the first time, and in the process loses his job, his fiancee, and very nearly his life and sanity. In the end he regains an even better version of his life, and he learns who and what he really is.
I loved this book. It was everything cool about American Gods and more. It was funnier and the characters felt more real, and at the same time more fantastic.
Rating: 10 out of 10.
