Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great for commuters
I listened to this one as I drove back and forth to work, 40 minutes each way. The story is great, and the oral performance is absolutely superb! I rarely repeat a book, in any form, but I'm getting ready to listen to this one again. Highly entertaining.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Mythology for the modern age, gods with dysfunctional families
Gaiman did it again. Delighted me thoroughly and completely in a most satisfying manner. Had me chuckling through the day and left me lying in bed with a smile on my face (and my husband reading Murakami in equal pleasure beside me, so wipe that smirk off your face. We only invite authors in covers under the covers with us. Kinky, we're not.)

I don't rightly recall which Gaiman was my first, though I was the first in the family to discover him. Devoured Good Omens, Neverwhere, Smoke ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Neil Gaiman does it again
Anansi Boys tells the story about a man named Fat Charlie Nancy, who leads a normal if not boring life. He works for an awful man named Grahme Coats. He is engaged to a very nice woman named Rosie. Rosies mom hates Charlie. He and Rosie are in the process of planning their wedding when Charlie gets a call that his father died. He flys out to the funeral and find out information that he never knew. One is that his father was a God and the other is that he has a brother named Spider. Spider ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Nice way to escape reality for a bit
Fat Charlie was dubbed so by his dad when just a chubby child. Unfortunately, even though he shed the pounds the name stuck. Many years later Fat Charlie is living an unremarkable life, with a crappy job and a girlfriend who insists on making him "wait until marriage". When Charlie's dad dies he learns some amazingly unbelieveable things and his boring life is forever changed.

This one has a lot of wit and was just offbeat enough to hold my attention. Charlie is an every-guy sort of ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Poor for Gaiman
American Gods was a fun take on gods. With that in mind, I looked forward to Anansi Boys. Oooops. The book was about as predictable as could be. Nothing original existed in the book and it often seemed its purpose was to piece together a few shticks that came to the mind of the author. True, some of the shticks and jokes were cute, but that doesn't make a novel. I was fairly certain how it would end from very early on, and the righting wasn't exciting enough to let me get past that.
