    "Perfect"

    This story by Neil Gaiman was a perfect balance of humor, characterization, suspense, fantasy and social commentary. But the best part was the storytelling, inspired by the god of storytelling. And the voice of Lenny Henry brought the story to life with perfect pace and understanding. I want to listen to anything else done by Lenny Henry now, I so enjoyed his rendition of this book.

    "Refreshing...."

    Really enjoyed the creativity of the story and the performance was perfect. Just very different from the last few audio books I've listened to; a work of it's own.

    "Amazing... One of my favourites"

    Lenny was great, the images the book created were amazing, and so many parts that bit a big smile on my face. If you like Neil Gaiman this is a must listen to

    "Wish I could give the narrator 10 stars"

    My spouse and I listened to this together and found ourselves laughing so hard in places that we had to shut it off to allow recovery time. It was well put together (of course it is Neil Gaiman). The reader really made it though. I'm glad Neil gave this one to someone else as he often reads his own. It is very much a roll with it story and we enjoyed it completely.

    "Loved this book"

    This is a fantastic story, with some of the best narration I've ever heard. I love Neil Gaiman, and this story is one of his most fun. Do yourself a favor and listen to this.

    Story
    "Not sure"

    I'd have to say I didn't get it. I just didn't understand. It was a story about Anansi the spider, but they were human (or were they?)

    I liked Fat Charlie. I even grew to like Spider. I got lost when they went to St. Andrew, and I never really followed the story after that. The synopsis had all the intrigue. The story had questions, but I found I didn't care enough to know the answers.

    "Great book decent narration. Annoying breaks"

    Love the book, narration is not the best but pretty damn good. The only thing I hate is the random breaks. There’s musical breaks randomly in the story, they don’t line up with chapters or even a change in the story.

    "Not one of my favorite gaiman but still good"

    the story is just not that great, good yes but not great. I don't know if this is because I've never read or heard American gods. I didn't like the reader. it's not that he did anything particularly bad I just didn't like him. maybe the accent but I don't think do.
