This is my favorite Gaiman! I love neil's humor and a more compact story w different types of characters whose paths all end up crossing and needing one another. I think his writing really shines in this one. Only Ocean was close to being just as good in my opinion, which is funny because they're both wildly different
Loved Anansi Boys so much when I read it. The humor hit all the right notes for me. I agree. American Gods is definitely the more impressive book but I loved the Anansi Boys taught me about a religion / deity that (even though he is in AG) we get more background to him in AB. Both are highly enjoyable but I am grabbing AB when I want something to make me laugh.
I love that The Year of Gaiman got me to go back and reread all these books, Anansi Boys in particular. Thank you!! BTW - that sweater is perfect for this video!!! Chef’s kiss!
Oh weird I just listen to this and I really like Neil’s narration 🎉 but my favorite Neil story is, Neverwhere! Totes meh goats! It’s a fantastic story! 😮😊
Great analysis, as usual, about a book that I don't really remember, I just know that I enjoyed but not that much as American Gods, so yeah, also not my favorite Gaiman but still a good one.
It has been ages since I read both American Gods and Anansi Boys and while I don't really remember why, I do remember that I liked Anansi Boys more. I should do a re-read to see if that is still true.

This is my last Gaiman adult novel to read. I kind of don’t want to read for then I will have no more Gaiman.
You can just reread them all!
Anansi boys was fun!!! I agree, if you didn't liked American gods meandering, read Anansi boys

I remember rushing out to pick up American Gods when it first came out, but it is far from my favorite work from him. I loved Anansi Boys much more.

Would be interesting to see if it changed
I do love this book but this is also formula Gaiman. Not that much different from Neverwhere in broad strokes.
Except that I personally think it’s way better than Neverwhere 🙃
The captions could be problematic.
I was so confused but then I checked and oh my…let’s see what we can do about that 🫠
@@LienesLibrary Sorry for the confusion but pointing it out more directly would have also been problematic!
@@MichaelMaxwell747 no I get it thank you for the heads up!
