Anasi Boys

Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman

Stars: 3 out of 5
Genre: Fantasy
Age Group: 14 and up

When I picked up Anansi Boys, I didn't know what to expect. I never read Neil Gaiman's works before. After I was done, I was glad that I read a fantastic author's works.

While reading Anansi Boys, I was fascinated at Gaiman's cleverness and Anansi's history. I learned so much about the witty spider Anansi and his sons, Charles "Fat Charlie" and Spider. The characters were so different but kept bumping into each other in the book which caused several plots.

Neil Gaiman wrote a witty, smart, and scary good story.
