In this #1 New York Times bestseller, Neil Gaiman returns to the territory of his masterpiece, American Gods (soon to be a Starz Original Series) to once again probe the dark recesses of the soul.
God is dead. Meet the kids.
Fat Charlie Nancy’s normal life ended the moment his father dropped dead on a Florida karaoke stage. Charlie didn’t know his dad was a god. And he never knew he had a brother. Now brother Spider is on his doorstep—about to make Fat Charlie’s life more interesting . . . and a lot more dangerous.
“Thrilling, spooky, and wondrous.” —Denver Post
“Awesomely inventive.… When you take the free-fall plunge into a Neil Gaiman book, anything can happen and anything invariably does.” —Entertainment Weekly
“Delightful, funny and affecting…. A tall tale to end all tall tales.” —Washington Post Book World

    Мне нравится полет фантазии Геймана. Его книги никогда не бывают скучными и банальными. Однако сюжеты, как по мне, шероховаты и даже очень. Эта книга очень хорошо рассказывает о поиске себя, о принятии своей темной стороны и невозможности стать цельной личностью без этого. Очень радуют истории про Ананси, вкрапленные то тут, то там. Вообще эта канва из мифологии меня очень подкупает. Приятное, лёгкое и в целом не бессмысленное чтиво.

Quotes

  • Zhenya Shabyninahas quoted9 years ago
    “How do you take your coffee?”
    “Dark as night, sweet as sin.”
  • Ekaterina Gurinahas quoted2 years ago
    Daisy looked up at him with the kind of expression that Jesus might have given someone who had just explained that he was probably allergic to bread and fishes, so could He possibly do him a quick chicken salad: there was pity in that expression, along with almost infinite compassion.
  • Ekaterina Gurinahas quoted2 years ago
    Some hats can only be worn if you’re willing to be jaunty, to set them at an angle and to walk beneath them with a spring in your stride as if you’re only a step away from dancing. They demand a lot of you
