Summary of this Book...
In Neil Gaiman's Anansi Boys, Fat Charlie Nancy has a problem, several in fact. It all started when his father died and he met his long-lost brother. By whispering to a spider, Fat Charlie's brother, Spider, comes to visit and finds that he likes his brother's life so much, he's going to take over. See, their recently deceased father, Anansi, was a god, and his children aren't entirely average humans. After making a deal with a Bird woman to get rid of his brother, Fat Charlie realizes he's in way over his head and the brothers must work together to fix the myriad of problems they're faced with throughout the novel.

When I finished Anansi Boys, I wanted to find out more about mythology and the different types of gods from various cultures.
The author of this Book...
Neil Gaiman is perhaps most known for his Sandman graphic novel series, but he's also written several adult novels (like American Gods and Neverwhere) as well as children's books (The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish).
I recommend this Book because...
This light-hearted yet meaningful novel is sure to entertain. It answers these age-old questions: What would it be like if your father was a god? What would a god's children be like? Do limes have powers?
