Considering this became an American God's topic, tell me, is Anansi Boys worth reading?

 

[dreaming neon darkspot]

the reviews i've heard have all been good. haven't picked it up myself, but it's Neil Gaiman, how can it be anything but amazing?

 

[Necromunchkin]

Anansi Boys isn't bad, not as good as American Gods, but worth the read.

 

[EricT]

Gaiman has been alright in my eyes.

Good Omens was great (though I'm sure we can partly thank Pratchett for that).

Neverwhere was a great series, and American Gods was pretty excellent.

His Graphic Novels seem to be hit and miss though.

So I'm always wary.

 

[dreaming neon darkspot]

sandman is brilliant. what are these "misses" of which you speak?

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

Anansi Boys is well worth reading.

Also I highly recommend checking out the graphic novel version of Neverwhere.

Didn't like the graphic novel of Neverwhere. Perhaps if I hadn't seen the TV serial before hand, my opinion would differ.

I just ordered Anansi Boys from Amazon.

i liked the idea of a graphic novelization of neverwhere but i guess it's one of those things that you really can't buy into completely after reading the book (never saw the mini-series) because you get such clear mental pictures of those characters and places gaiman created that it's really hard to follow anyone else's interpretation

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

Man, see, I loved the comic's interpretation of most of the characters, particularly Vandemar & Croup. In fact, if I can find a big dude who doesn't mind wearing an orange suit and an Elvis wig, I might try to go to a Halloween party as Croup.

You can get the DVD for the TV mini-series for about 14 bucks used.

More than worth it.

their appearances in particular threw me for a loop.

So this isn't really about epic photos?

Were I in proximity, I'd go for that. And I wouldn't even need the wig. Just the orange suit.

The epic photo battle has been removed due to mass incompetence on the side of our potential audience.
