The Graveyard Book

Bod Owens lives in a graveyard. Now, this is the idea for a superb story, and Mr Gaiman knows how to execute it to the full.
I was sucked in from the very beginning, and loved Bod who is a sweet an intelligent child. For him, the interactions with the departed are as natural as they can be. He has guardians, ghostly friends and even a teacher so it seems there is no need for the world outside the gate. And there is a mystery that surrounds him which opens the novel that gave me shivers.
My second novel by Mr Gaiman that was more than satisfying. Bravo!

Fun review, Beata! I’ve only ever read Good Omens, and that wasn’t even all him.
Loved your review, Beata. I’ll have to check this one out. Have read American Gods and Ocean at the End of the Lane, which was my favorite N Gaiman so far. 👍
Super review! Can’t wait to read this one :)
Perfectly said, Beata. I know just why you love Bod. It's near impossible not to. :)
Great review, Beata! Glad you enjoyed! Hope your winning streak with Neil Gaiman continues! :)
