Book Rating

Don't compare this book to American Gods. You will be disappointed; for good reason. Unlike American Gods, this is Anansi's book (or his son's book). This book is humorous, silly, and whimsical in its lightness. Not to suggest the West African trickster can't be dark and scary that is just not the point in this story. Some parts do get dark and scary.
It is a story of family among other things. For people who are not a mythology nut like me. There are stories about Anansi in the book (somewhat like the coming to America stories in American Gods) so you will have an idea who this slightly random god is.

Movie Rating

Almost indescribably weird Japanese children's film takes all the tropes of the giant monster genre and somehow manages to make them thoroughly whimsical and charming. Up to a point, anyway. Anyone wondering about the sanitation arrangements on Monster Island will enjoy the giant monster toilet which turns up in this film.

The monster suits are awful, the acting mainly consists of the broadest kind of slapstick and people shouting at one another, and even the special effects are decidedly ropey. Yet we must remember this was a children's film and it does have a very peculiar gentle charm to it. If you like Japanese SF movies anyway. Everyone else will probably find it totally unwatchable.
