APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Imagine the surprise of learning your late father was the superpowerful West African trickster Anansi—and that you have a brother who, unlike you, inherited all of your dad’s godly powers. That’s exactly what happens to hapless Londoner Charlie Nancy at the start of Neil Gaiman’s Anansi Boys. Soon Charlie and his charming, dastardly brother, Spider, leap into a continent-hopping, time-traveling journey that’s hilarious, imaginative, and thrilling. We love the way Gaiman brings various characters from the Anansi creation myth into a rollicking modern story.
