 Fun and fast-paced with a dark undercurrent throughout, I really enjoyed Anansi Boys overall! Took off a star as the last 20% became fairly muddled and kind of fell off. I flew through the first 80% and the last bit took me a couple days to finish.

It does not have the same overall ~vibe~ as American Gods - it has a much more lighthearted tone even with the stakes presented - but a fun follow-up and worth the read! I loved the characters!
