A review by circesophelia
Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman
funny
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
4.0
Genuinely funny!
Gaiman is associated in my brain with the bizarre and creepy and quite uncomfy - I like the way he does this but this novel - much more focused in a comic brotherly relationship was so welcome.
The characters are all so defined and developed and different and fantastic and the book gives you reasons to love and root and support them.
It's a great companion to the much grander American Gods.
