12. Neil Gaiman "Anansi Boys"
I finished Neil Gaiman's "Anansi Boys" the other night. I really enjoyed how he spun up a bunch of divergent threads then brought them together in the end. Gaiman's prose can be exquisite and some of this book really shined. Overall it's a fun book with plenty of comedic bits. In the plot there are some gruesome parts, but he manages to tell them in ways that keep them from feeling like gore.
Gaiman's writing is levels up from most other living writers. Is it his English schooling? Is it working as a journalist? Is it just reading a lot of Wodehouse, Bradbury, and Adams? I don't know, but he's leagues better than most.
