Product Description:


Nobody Owens, known to his friends as Bod, is a normal boy.



He would be completely normal if he didn't live in a sprawling graveyard, being raised and educated by ghosts, with a solitary guardian who belongs to neither the world of the living nor of the dead.



There are dangers and adventures in the graveyard for a boy-an ancient Indigo Man beneath the hill, a gateway to a desert leading to an abandoned city of ghouls, the strange and terrible menace of the Sleer.



But if Bod leaves the graveyard, then he will come under attack from the man Jack—who has already killed Bod's family. . . .



Beloved master storyteller Neil Gaiman returns with a luminous new novel for the audience that embraced his New York Times bestselling modern classic coraline. Magical, terrifying, and filled with breathtaking adventures, the graveyard book is sure to enthrall readers of all ages.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Of course it's a great book, but check out the illustrations.
What I can say about Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book that hasn't already been said? By now, everyone pretty much knows that it's an homage to the Jungle Books and that most everything that Gaiman works on is excellent. The only real item of value to add is that it's like the Mowgli stories in the Jungle Books, not the Jungle Books in their entirety. I suspect that that's what most people think of when they think of "The Jungle Books", so no one should be much disappointed at the lack of a ghoulish ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - one of the Gaiman's best, and that's sure saying something.
The Jungle Book but with a Graveyard instead of a Jungle. And that's really all I should have to say in recommendation. But, with Gaiman, there's always beautiful prose and gorgeous details (in description of the world of the graveyard, the epitaphs, the monsters and villains) that make his books more than just a great idea. Nobody Owens, the sole survivor after his family is murdered by a man Jack, is raised by the graveyard, living between the borders of life and death, just as Mowgli lived between civilization ...

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Pleasant read, but reliant on cleverness and short on substance
I can't imagine anyone saying they're not a Neil Gaiman fan. He is an exceptional storyteller, and a master at infusing the novel, the unique, and the off-skew into his stories.

The Graveyard Book has all of the elements of Gaiman's unique abilities embedded within the story. I marvel at the breadth of his originality and imagination. I found The Graveyard Book to be a great literary snack, no matter that it is essentially a children's fantasy novel. It is also, however, devoid of weight.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An enchanting read
This book takes the reader to the world of Bod Owens, a young boy who is orphaned and taken under the protective wing of the inhabitants of a graveyard. The ghosts and creatures who raise and protect him demonstrate the kindness, love, warmth, and wisdom that we all hope to receive from a family.

I purchased the book after hearing Mr. Gaiman give a talk in which he described the original inspiration for the story and read an excerpt. After hearing his reading I could not wait to read the book and was ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Left a little underwhelmed.
This is the second book of Gaiman's that I've read, Coraline being the first. While this was far better than Coraline, I was still left a little underwhelmed.

Don't get me wrong, I liked the book. But there were times when I just didn't enjoy reading it. It was slow at times, and I found myself silently begging for something more exciting to happen. I finally got my wish towards the end.

Bod is a different type of character, but he's very likable. You find yourself wanting the very best for ... Read More
