Fun to read. You never quite knew where you were going or where the story line would end up. But, that was part of the fun. Enjoyed it because of the unpredictability as well as how well the story line was developed.
Great book, Imaginative concept brilliantly executed and beautifully written. Funny, wry, complex, a delight. Love Neil Gaiman
I love Neil Gaiman! He makes me think and is so imaginative that I can’t “guess” the ending of his books. Certainly not a formula writer.
Very weird and different. But I liked it okay.
This is a great book. I couldn’t put it down.
One of Neil’s more realistic stories, even with the fantasy core. It has some great character builds & nice unpredictable climax.
Overall fair read, really took a while to get into the book, slow building, but eventually a good read. Ok but not above average.
Based loosely on the African folklore character, Anansi the Spider. Gaiman is a very original writer.
Love Neil Gaiman and his world view.
Funnier than some of his work.
I love Gaiman!! His wit partnered with Anansi is a perfect combo!!
Cool take on mythology and gods.
Neil Gaiman is always a good read.
Neil Gaiman alway fantastic
I think this is my favorite Neil Gaiman book. Look at life through the eyes of Gods living in today’s world. What’s not to love?
