Anansi Boys

I just love Neil Gaiman's writing style, he never fails to make me smile and hit me with a phrase of unexpected depth. I loved getting to read about the Gods in the modern world in a non-apocalyptic setting. Fat Charlie's and Spider's growth is perfectly paced and the characters weave around one another in a delightful web. There is no single hero to save the day but everyone (usually unknowingly) contributing to the solution - it's hard to come by a true ensemble based novel.
