One Hershey's kiss is not. 15 Hershey's kisses? Perfectly acceptable. I'd think you'd want milk, though.

Is the AB/AG contrast to the detriment of one? I keep meaning to reading American Gods, but haven't yet.

No, I don't think one is better or worse than the other as a work of literature; I like American Gods better in general but that's more because of the subjects it hits. But Anansi Boys is supposed to take place in the same universe, or a universe in which the same conceit applies -- the gods are with us and they're late on their rent -- and it's just totally and completely spun in a different direction that I find unsatisfying.

Also, AB is very much steeped in comedy where AG is much more serious and dark. And I think AG is the better book, for sure. But I loved them both. :)
