Spider knows who and what his dad is, Fat Charlie does not. He doesn't even know that he has a brother. When the old man kicks the bucket while performing on a Florida karaoke stage, events are set into motion that enlighten Fat Charlie about his heritage -- and fast. He quickly discovers that a dull life can get dangerously interesting when the gods are involved.
Set in the same literary universe as "American Gods" and loaded with his trademark wry wit, "Anansi Boys" is a worthy addition to Neil Gaiman's body of work and is a must read for fans of original tales well told. Recommended.

Wow, not only are you typing away 50,000+ words for your own novel, but you manage to read a review another novel at the same time! Congrats on Nano
Thanks Mike! I must admit that I do like to stay busy. Also, reading is one of the tricks I use to keep the prose flowing.
