The Graveyard Book by: Neil Gaiman

I had wanted to read this book ever since I heard that it was about a boy who lived in a graveyard and was raised by ghosts. Finally bought the hardback because the wait at the library was too long!

A MUST READ.

It's wonderfully spooky and there are twists and turns, not sharp ones but more like a winding road because of the amazing way that Neil Gaiman writes! And Bod Owens is such a charming and loveable main character! I also fangirl his guardian Silas. Not sure how much I can say about the man Jack without giving things away except that the thing that he's involved in is really clever and I wish we learned more!

And aww the end almost made me cry but it was SUCH a good way to end it because of the possibilities for Bod Owens, not in the way of sequels but for his character :D

And I almost forgot about the artwork by Dave McKean! The black and white drawings are anything but simple and they really make you feel like you're a part of the story.

So yes, go read this right away, it's so worth it (like all of Neil Gaiman's work!)
