Melody Murray's Books

I have been looking forward to reading this book for a long time. I moved slowly up the library waiting list, and finally there it was in my hands at last. Which makes it all the more disappointing that this book failed to live up to my hopes. This is a harsh thing to say about a well-written book that's hilarious in spots, and poignant in others. I couldn't help comparing it with American Gods, and it falls sadly short. American Gods has haunted me since I first read it, several years ago. Anansi Boys made me smile, but didn't stick with me at all.
