Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman


Cute and funny in a way that only Neil Gaiman can make fraud, murder, and voodoo cute and funny.

Charles Nancy learns his father has died and then he learns that his father was Anansi the Spider. Hilarity ensues. I should say chaos, then hilarity interspersed throughout...but sort of an understated, sarcastic hilarity.

Yes, but is there a dress on the cover?!

Funny, I just picked this up at the berry---will have to actually read it now. :)

No dresses. I'm unofficially boycotting books with dresses or shoes or hats on the cover.

If a book has an article of clothing on the cover, I'm steering clear...unless it's a kilt.
