Rob D gave it a9: A good modern-day myth story. Simply written with humor. An easy read, recommended.
Jonathan F gave it a9: I thought this was a fantastic book. Lined right up there with American Gods, which I'd name a 10. This book deserves to be made into a movie, and I look forward to seeing it's older brother, American Gods on the big screen.
Michael T gave it a9: This book is tremendous fun, especially the audiobook. The narrator handles a number of accents and animals extremely well. Highly recommended.
Striver gave it a9: Gaiman is a great storyteller, and this one - a story in large part about the nature and power of storytelling - is wise and funny. It's an excellent read for fans of clever wiriting that never insults your intelligence.
Launce R gave it a7: I am a fan of Neil's. "Neverwhere" and "American Gods" seemed to me to establish himself as sort of the new Clive Barker, and "Good Omens," of course, is simply the funniest book on the end of the world ever written. "Anansi Boys" is in that tradition, but I could not give it as high a mark as his earlier novels. The exposition on the old gods and their alternate universe dragged it down a bit. I suspect that Mr. Gaiman was referencing some actual mythologies -- and I did appreciate the references to the Western African mythos passed on to us as the Tar Baby stories -- but I didn't have the whole backstory, so I felt I was missing something. Anyway, Neil Gaiman fans like myself are going to run right out and buy this regardless of the reviews, and those fans will be rewarded.
t frederick gave it a9: Gaiman has a wonderful flair for language, and this is a captivating story. I won't speak for the audiobook - but I recommend reading this book.
m drazin gave it an8: Good book. I listened to the audiobook version and it was very good. The book was not as funny to me as others thought, but i enjoyed it greatly.
