Review title: Thoroughly disappointing. I really wanted to like this book.
Product review: Ultimately, this book felt like an old friend letting me down.I have read a large number of Hugo and Nebula award winners. This book doesn't fit. I read all of the praise for this book. I listened to a podcast of the author talking about The Anansi Boys. This book is simply a let-down. You keep reading it knowing that at any moment you will be rewarded with a masterful Hugo-calibur novel, but it never comes. The book only becomes interesting right at the very end, and then just as your interest is finally roused, ...well... the book ends. The main character, Shadow, is apathetic and the author captures that beautifully by completely eliminating any character development or interesting action for Shadow.
