    One of Gaiman's Best

    This book is incredibly well-written, as are all of Gaiman's books. His editing, tone, vocabulary, and syntax are superb. This particularly book is clean of any offensive content, making it perfect for any age. The story is mature without being inappropriate and has that air of supernatural macabre for which Gaiman is known. The story teaches good lessons about love, friendship, family, and loyalty. I would recommend it for ages 8+.

  • Good Coming of Age Story with a Ghostly Twist

    I bought The Graveyard Book because I am a fan of Neil Gaiman's work. Dispite that this book was written with a younger reader in mind, I think fans of Gaiman's other works will enjoy this book as well. He once again takes something ordinary (in this book it's a graveyard), and gives it a magic all it's own (Like the stars in Stardust). Upon the horrible death of his family, Nobody Owens (Bod to his friends) is taken into protction by the ghosts of the local graveyard who agree to raise him. Through the years they teach him school work, graveyard magics, right from wrong, compassion, friendship, and help him learn who he really is and who his family was. If you are a fan of Neil Gaiman's work or magical coming of age stories I would reccomend this book.

  • Injustice in The Graveyard Book

    The main theme in The Graveyard Book seems to be the fight with the evil and doing justice, or maybe undoing injustice that this evil causes. It often refers to the biblical rule “eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth” but seems to treat it more deeply. There is also a clear distinction between good and evil characters, and a theme of revenge. Bod, as a positive character, at the very beginning, is set in opposition to the black and mysterious figure of Jack. This perfectly built beginning, quite scary and wonderfully introducing the mood, develops into a very intriguing and absorbing plot. The main theme of injustice is based on the story of the crime – a murder of the family. The Jacks-of-all-trades and their Order have, at least in their view, good reasons to kill Bod’s family. Yet, not ...

  • NEWBERRY MEDAL AWARD WINNING BOOK

    The John Newberry Award was established in 1922 for excellence in Children's Literature. The American Library Association choose the winners and Honor Books by the end of Februrary every year. This book was no different than the other winners as it was an outstandingly written and charming tale of some adventrues a young lad endures while living in a graveyard. I do not want to give too much of the book away. Just know that it is a book you must read to believe and I believed in it very much. It reminded me of some adventures I had as a child and to me those memeories are priceless!!

  • Great book for teens and adults...wonderfully imaginative

    The book was in great shape...the book is a great book. Its a childrens book (kinda) but the way Neil Gaiman writes is so engaging and descriptive, it could be read by adults and kids and both would appreciate it.
