I have also read some not-so-good reviews for American Gods, which I don't really understand as I loved it - my husband even called it a masterpiece and he is SUPER picky about what he reads.
I've not read American Gods. I've read Anansi Boys, and it didn't inspire me to read any more. I don't specifically think it was badly written...I'm not so inspired as to be critical of it...I'm not inclined at this point to read another though. Views here from many (who I've no reason but to respect) have suggested my opinion is in the minority though, and if I was told that American Gods was worlds above Anansi Boys I'd likely give it a go sometime down the track. Who knows? Sometimes, when reading, mindset can have an influence on me. Perhaps I wasn't in the right one at the time.

Cheers,
