I just finished reading Anansi Boys, the latest novel by Neil Gaiman. It's a first for me, to purchase a book and read it before it hits number one on the New York Times bestseller list. Never did that with the Harry Potter books.

Anansi Boys is thoroughly enjoyable, a trans-atlantic romp that, for me, has a similar vibe to the movie A Fish Called Wanda. I'll leave the detailed reviews to the professionals but I will say this: Don't expect Anansi Boys to be American Gods II. It's not.

If you are among the lucky first thousand who purchase your copy at Fully Boooked, you'll receive a free limited edition print of an original handwritten note by Neil Gaiman to his Philippine readers, a thanks for a wonderful time over there type of note which is sweet and has a drawing of a lime.
