Gaiman, Neil. Anansi Boys.


A semi-realistic fantasy that blends African myth and contemporary Afro-American/Afro-British culture in a story about an accountant who loses the father who caused him terminal embarrassment, gains a brother he never knew he had, and finds true love.

Not bad at all! Though the story type isn't what I usually read, I found that I really enjoyed this book. It's funny, the characters are great, though sometimes frusturating(you'd have to read to see why), and the story rich.

I loved this book, it had great description and the plot line surrounding the story was great. Although i do not usually enjoy stories of this genre, i found this book very enjoyable and a fast read.

Anansi Boys was a really good book it was easy to follow and understand as well as interperate hiddin meanings. The best part about the book has to be the characters and the story line.
Fat Charlie was an amusing charater mostly because of his attiude. This was a great book and I strongly recommend it to anyone to read.
