I was not a big fan of American Gods, nor the first 140 pages or so of Anansi Boys, but there was enough to keep me reading, and it picked up a bit and finishes well. I just don't get that happy feeling when reading Gaiman's prose; maybe the written novel simply isn't his strong medium and the graphic novel is? He's got some really interesting ideas, and some good dialogue, but every time something needs to be described, the words seem at a loss for the picture that would explain things so much more clearly and elegantly.
