I just had a Gaimangasm. It was pleasant, unexpected, and wholly amusing. The term is coined by my good friend Captain Dave, and relates to my experience reading Anansi Boys. I will be honest here, and say that despite my love of all things Neil Gaiman, I was struggling with this book.
It was wandering, and I felt that it was taking a long time to get to the point. I had suspected for a fair while that there was a lot more to the Spider/Fat Charlie, but when it happened, I was delighted, and there were a great number of other elements that suddenly fell into place all of a sudden. This brought me great joy, and the aforementioned Gaiman-gasm.
PS - read Anansi Boys.
PPS - it is NOT an American Gods sequel
PPPS - buy Fragile Things if you want more Shadow, there is a great story at the end of that which deals with him.
Happy Easter. Blake.
