I do not like spiders... but I did like Spider, Fat Charlie Nancy's other half. This was an interesting book to pair up with David Copperfield. There was mythology, fraud, debauchery, and weird animal people doing vicious things on a cliff in holes.
Neil Gaiman is a fun writer to read (Don't know why but reading this book reminded me of James P. Othmer's 'The Futurist' even though there really isn't any connection except maybe through the funny characters).
Fat Charlie reminded me a bit of Ignatius J. Reilly from 'The Confederacy of Dunces'... then he didn't. It was a strange moment in my reading.
Fun book... but why, oh why, does the spiders have only 7 legs? What did I miss? I thought spiders had 8 legs. What was Neil doing? Someone please... I can't sleep without knowing. I need answers.
