    A new twist on African Folklore

    I thought Gaiman's American Gods was a better story within the same vein. However, if you know a bit about African folklore or are interesting in it, this book has an "inventive" take on them and was entertaining.

    I haven't remembered to put my library checkouts on the list as of yet, but Anansi Boys was one of them. I enjoyed this book immensely. I actually read this one before American Gods, but it's okay, because they stand alone. It's an interesting way to get a little introduction to the mythology that isn't the classic mythology that they bore you to tears with in the US. If Gaiman created the mythology curriculum here it would be so much more interesting!

    a great action packed read

    It was like an action movie and the characters were great. My favorite part was the personification of the animal gods and such.

  • Not thrilled

    I did finish this book but am sad to say that I was a little disappointed. His writing style just didn't grab me like I was hoping it would. I may try another of his books in the future, but I have a LONG list before that.
