Anansi Boys was akin to a leisurely stroll in the park in that it was pleasant and relaxing but nothing to write home about.
The story itself starts off slow but I was escorted through the pages by Gaiman's quaint style of writing and it picked up once Spider entered the story. From then on in it progressed at a saunter and was adequate lounging in the sun reading.
The characters are interesting and well fleshed out and the tale that is told is original. Together they give the novel a certain charm and even though it never grabbed me by the short and curlies it was a pleasant and gentle diversion from everyday life.
