[McMurphy]

I believe that Anansi Boys was once a selection for the Book Club on this site, so you may wish use the search option under that board if you are looking for some additional thoughts and opinions.

As for me, I enjoyed the book. Like Neverwhere, however, I felt the characterization of the main protagonist was too weak-willed and a bit unconvincing as a real person. I really admired Anansi Boys's wit along with its tongue-in-cheek tone, and it was a great dessert for readers (like me) who loved American Gods.

[To DarkIntentions: Yep, it is a book that Gaiman wrote prior to the one in question. American Gods, among other awards, won both the Hugo and and Nebula the same year.]
