Anansi Boys was my second Gaiman book. I like dark comedies very much. He's one of the authors that you either like him or hate him. Of course, this being my 2nd book of his, I guess it's safe to say I like him. I don't necessarily love him and that's really because of this book.Don't get me wrong. It was a good book. It was full of things that kept me intrigued, but to me it just felt like another story that is like the Fockers. I felt so bad for the main character. Everything bad happens to him. He cannot catch a break through most of the book and that's is how I felt through the Focker movies. Instead of it being funny, you just feel bad.
Apparently, this was a sequel to his previous book of American Gods. But this can be read as a stand alone book because when I bought it, I didn't know that this could have been taken as a sequel, otherwise I would have bought American Gods first. After reading this one, I don't know if I want to venture into that one though. 3 stars
