Anansi Boys
God is dead. Meet the kids.
I just finished listening to Anansi Boys, by Neil Gaiman, read by Lenny Henry.
I wasn't familiar with Lenny Henry prior to this, but I am impressed. He's a terrific reader, with wonderful character voices. I can't imagine anyone doing as fine a job with this material.
And the material itself? Love it. How could I not love a book that opens:
It begins, as most things begin, with a song.
In the beginning, after all, were the words, and they came with a tune.
Even though I had a general idea how it must end, I did not know how it would all come together, and was quite pleased with the ins and outs of it.
I think it would be terrific to read or hear -- I do intend to buy it and have on hand for reading later.
If you like audiobooks, however, and a bit of magical realism, I think you should definitely give this one a listen. It's delightful!
