Henry Lenny's voice makes this story so entertaining and engrossing--he was an excellent choice for this audiobook, one that the author himself wanted. It's so good to have that wish become a reality. I've seen some discussions online…

This is by far my favourite audiobook so far. Lenny Henry is an amazing performer. He has a different voice for every character and I was entertained until the very end. Neil Gaiman writes a great book full of imagination and stories…

Have to say this one was a bit different for me, but kept me coming back to listen for more!! Loved how everything comes together in the end--even had a couple laugh out loud moments on the last disk. Lenny Henry is an awesome narrator…

Anansi Boys features some very interesting twists and turns. Some have you cringing and others have you laughing out loud in real-life. Also, some "voices" for Audiobooks are not especially natural or enjoyable to read. The voice of this…

This is the second Gaiman book that I have read (both as audiobooks) and having read the epic "Neverwhere" first, was afraid to set my expectations too high lest I be disappointed. I now feel guilty for ever having doubted this brilliant…

I like Neil Gaiman, in general his writing is fabulous. But the narrator Lenny Henry made this book even better, he does all the voices and accents perfectly.

This was my first Neil Gaimen novel and I now appreciate why he is so well loved. His prose is elegant and imaginative. The characters draw you in, and his description of fantastical worlds come alive in the mind. Anansi Boys is the story…
