Anansi Boys

After reading American Gods  I needed more Gaiman.  So the next logical book was Anansi Boys.  It follows one of the most interesting characters from the former book "Mr. Nancy" who happens to be Anansi from the African Folk Tales.  Gaiman brings the mischievousness of the ancient Anansi to the modern world.

The main character is Charles "Fat Charlie" Nancy, Anansi's son.  Upon his father's death Fat Charlie finds out about his twin brother Spider and his father's true identity.  This information leads Fat Charlie on a long and winding path he will never forget.  The magical world once again collides with our world.

Things will never be the same.
