I absolutely loved this book!This was the first audiobook I had ever read (listened to?). Lenny Henry was an absolutely incredible narrator and I've got to say, I think I might be a little hooked on audiobooks now.As for the story itself... it's Neil. ‘Nuff said.The plot was so intriguing and strange. Personally, I preferred this book to [b:American Gods 30165203 American Gods Neil Gaiman https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1462924585s/30165203.jpg 1970226] , however, that book is also amazing. I also don't feel as though you need to read American Gods to read this- it's less of a sequel than it is a companion novel.It revolves around this guy, Fat Charlie, who finds out that his father is a god and he has this long-lost brother. So he decides to meet his brother, Spider, and things go disastrously wrong. The book is extremely humorous, which was only enhanced by Henry's interpretation of the novel. It is also engaging, and I was always trying to figure out times when I could fit in a little audiobooking. If that is even a valid verb.I loved all of the characters. Fat Charlie, Spider, Rosie, Daisy, Tiger... you name it. They were all wholly unique and very interesting to read about. Their relationships were also very tangled, like a web (Ha! Get it?).I loved this book. It was mysterious, and weird, and strange, and everything I love about Neil Gaiman. I certainly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a bizarre fiction novel that will make them smile and even chuckle.
