Also, have I mentioned all the main characters are POC.
So. Much. Fun.
When I began reading this, I wanted to kick Fat Charlie in the butt because he was that spineless. And I wanted to do the same to Spider because he wasn't. I ended up liking both characters and their only-i-get-to-hurt-my-family philosophy.
P.S. If you don't like rambling plots, then you'll probably not take a shine to this one.

This was definitely one of my favorite Gaiman novels. It had cute, light humor (like Fat Charlie and his lime) and wild imagination that Anansi himself would certainly approve of (it is his story, as every story is, after all). It worked in African folklore into a modern tale as expertly as a seasoned old weaver. The ending was clever and satisfying. A highly recommended read for anyone who wants to cheer up.
