Review - Anansi Boys

Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman

Good things: A good lighthearted read, humorous, but with touches of darkness that anyone familiar with Gaiman's other work will be familiar with.

The blending of mythology and real-life work well, for all that these are basically the same ideas that formed the basis of American Gods (Gaiman's previous novel).

Bad things: Didn't find myself enjoying this as much as I enjoyed American Gods.

The deleted scene. WTF is that about?

The character of Rosie is a bit 'Meh?'
