Hi, Trish - I loved Anansi Boys on audio!

Would you mind not linking to my review on my old Today.com site? (Books and Movies) I moved to my own domain in April after some really horrible business practices on the part of Today.com, although they kept all my content. I just found out today that they have put an overlay ad on my old blog that links to a bunch of porn sites. I'd hate to send any traffic over there.

Anasi Boys is my second favorite Gaiman book right after Stardust. I sat down to read a few pages after a book slump and bam read the whole thing. That doesn't usually happen with me.

Nymeth - After I wrote my post, I was looking for other reviews, and I saw yours. All I could do was laugh at the similarity!

Bart - I definitely recommend it. Have you read American Gods yet?

"What I was fascinated with was the philosophy. Anansi Boys, more than anything else to me, is a discussion of the importance of stories to humans. "

Yes, exactly! That's what I loved the post about this book. And I hadn't thought of the language being Douglas Adam-esque, but that's a good comparison :)

I loved American Gods for all of its layers....figuring out the gods and what they represented, the new gods v the old gods. Not to mention the story. It remains one of my favorites.

But Anansi Boys felt totally flat in comparison. I can understand Gaiman not wanting to write the same book, but I still felt it lacked something.
