In fact, Anansi Boys may be the prototype from which overused adjectives should have come - before they were overused. And I'm certain they'll want to do similar things with the book.Īnansi Boys is at all times funny, adventurous, and charming. Enough that I gave my copy to someone else to read and purchased a second copy for another friend. Still, not only did I like it but I loved it. I never finished 1602 (despite guessing that I should have persevered). I never finished American Gods (though I'm told I should have persevered). I never got into Sandman (though I'm told I should have persevered). ![]() Really, Anansi Boys may be the first thing I've read from Neil Gaiman that I liked. Patrons quietly minding their own business while slogging through their Number Three Specials With Extra Tokyo Beef would be startled into wakefulness to see me - chopsticks in one hand, book in the other - as my grizzled maw broke forth with guffaws and irrepressible smiles. Okay, so maybe it was more of a chortle, but it was definitely out loud. ![]()
