My spider sense is tingling

So Mark at Dymocks casually says " I have a reading copy if you would like to borrow it". I tried to stay calm - it might just be an illusion. I concentrated on the term "reading copy" and thought "what else would you do with a book". Just possibly worship it I suppose. To cut a long story short, I have now read Anansi Boys. Yes, the new, not yet released, Neil Gaiman book. The price - write a review. Bargain of the year.

You...

You bastard!

(Any good?)

I thought that might be the reaction :-)

It is an "all in one go" read. I read it all in one session with a big smile on my face. I plan to get the review written and posted this weekend.

Cool!

When's it out?

[threemonkeys.livejournal.com]

20th September in UK & US. Probably the same down this way since the distributors have told Dymocks "september".

Hm. That works. :)

Envying sigh.

To quote everybody else -- You Bastard! I've had it on pre-order from Amazon for ages (and there's ages still to go). I hope it's better than American Gods. I tried hard, but I really didn't like American Gods at all.

Its different to AG - more than you might expect given that it is set in the same universe.

I have to return this proof to Dymocks - a quiet word to Mark should score you a look too.
