The Graveyard Book

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"Loved it! Very unique idea"

"This is my second book by Neil Gaiman and before I knew it I was in love. His stories always have a way of drawing me in, living among the characters. This book follows a boy named Nobody and what I love most is you get to grow up with him learn as he does. I could go on forever. It is so good and wholesome but dark and mysterious and it just all flows seamlessly as Neil's writing seems to do. I never get bored it's almost as if reading this book is just me spending time with a good friend that's the only way to explain it."

"The metaphors and the word choices were just poetry. Now I know why everybody says to read Neal Gaiman! "

"Audiobook "

"Great story"

"After finishing Piranesi and Howls Moving Castle, I had a hole in my heart. It was hard to find love in a book after two masterpieces like that. Then came the graveyard book. Oh my god. Helped bring joy back into my books, and was adorable! It was morbid, but not so much it was unbearable, it was morbid in the kind of way good things are. "

"It was an okay book. I could take or leave the book. It was just stora forgettable to me.  I had to read for a  project for school and had to get a note from my parents that is was okay for me to read for being "Too graphic and descriptive with violence" when the book didn't have that much violence and it was all in semi vague detail such as 'A man held a kinfe in the darkness.' When I was 15 which left me sort disappointed and wishing for me more after having to get a written that was okay for me to read a book targeted for per-teens.  But this was just my experience with the book and my thoughts on it where somewhat soured by the hoops I had to jump through to read the book. I'm sure if I read at a different time in my life or didn't have to for a school project then I would have enjoy it more. But these are just the thoughts of a random person on the internet. "

"The story of Nobody Owens is a chapter by chapter explanation of his life over the years into adulthood. He finds himself the single surviver of a tragic episode, leaving him with a new family and place to call home. Neil Gaiman has beautifully crafted this story with the use of episodic chapters. Each one contains the readers interest as an individual lesson, and memoir into Bod's life. <br/><br/>Bod represents the lostness of adolescence. He finds friends in unlikely places, who are not among the living, but he also learns from the other side of life as he grows older and ventures outside the gates of "home." <br/><br/>I would recommend this book to any reader, it holds the captivation of the audience, while being interesting to a number of readers (not just adolescents)."

"Haunting, but sweet and humorous. The story is well written and kept me engaged the whole way. The perfect spooky read!"
