Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Lenny Henry, narrator made this one of the most fun books I’ve read (listened to) in a long time. There were so many quotes that I wanted to put into my blog. But that would be spoilers. Go to GoodReads and look them up once you’ve read this book. I would be doing my diamond painting and then suddenly I’d have to stop because I would be laughing out loud. I’d have to calm down before trying to place the little gem into the picture.
What can I say about Neil Gaiman that hasn’t been said? His writing and imagination is fantastic.
This is considered book 2 of the American Gods. But I don’t know if you need to read that first. I did read AG a bit ago and loved it, too. But it isn’t necessary to enjoy this shorty but goody. Okay, maybe it isn’t so short. But after the tomes of Outlander this was a nice break.
I only decided to read this because Whoopi Goldberg is going to star in the theatrical version. Now I can hardly wait to see it!
Anansi Boys might just be the first audio book that I listen to! Thanks for the recommendation…
You can’t go wrong. The narrator is quite the voice actor!
I have a quiet day next week, so perfect for experimenting!
Enjoy!

Lenny Henry is a great actor, comedian and narrator. He used to live in the same area as me and one day while driving driving through town he walked across the road in front of me. I slammed on the brakes , he waved and apologised! I was so shocked, my friend said you nearly knocked Lenny Henry over !!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
What a cool experience!
I almost hit Patrick Swazy, though my friend and I couldn’t remember his name! We both got the Patrick part but I could only think Stewart.
Until this book I don’t think I knew Lenny Henry. But he did sound so familiar. I’m horrid at celebrity names.
Patrick Swazy that’s cool too, thank goodness we both stopped in time!! Yup Lenny Henry is very popular over here!
I know! Imagine the aftermath of those slips! (And the personal anquish!!!!) Whew!😂😂😂😂😂
