There is plenty of darkness, but the novel's ultimate message is strong and life affirming….this is a rich story with broad appeal. , Lucid, evocative prose and dark fairy-tale motifs imbue the story with a dreamlike quality. ...this ghost-story-cum-coming-of-age-novel as readable as it is accomplished., Wistful, witty, wise--and creepy. This needs to be read by anyone who is or has ever been a child., "I wish my younger self could have had the opportunity to read and re-read this wonderful book, and my older self wishes that I had written it."

I want to see more of the adventures of Nobody Owens, and there is no higher praise for a book., The Graveyard Book is everything everyone loves about Neil Gaiman, only multiplied many times over, a novel that showcases his effortless feel for narrative, his flawless instincts for suspense, and above all, his dark, almost silky sense of humor., THE GRAVEYARD BOOK, by turns exciting and witty, sinister and tender, shows Gaiman at the top of his form. In this novel of wonder, Neil Gaiman follows in the footsteps of long-ago storytellers, weaving a tale of unforgettable enchantment., This is, quite frankly, the best book Neil Gaiman has ever written. How he has managed to combine fascinating, friendly, frightening and fearsome in one fantasy I shall never know, but he has pulled it off magnificently - perfect for Halloween and any other time of the year., It takes a graveyard to raise a child. My favorite thing about this book was watching Bod grow up in his fine crumbly graveyard with his dead and living friends. The Graveyard Book is another surprising and terrific book from Neil Gaiman., The Graveyard Book is endlessly inventive, masterfully told and, like Bod himself, too clever to fit into only one place. This is a book for everyone. You will love it to death., The Graveyard Book, by turns exciting and witty, sinister and tender, shows Gaiman at the top of his form.

Bod is an unusual boy who inhabits an unusual place--he's the only living resident of a graveyard.

Can a boy raised by ghosts face the wonders and terrors of the worlds of both the living and the dead? The Graveyard Book is the winner of the Newbery Medal, the Carnegie Medal, the Hugo Award for best novel, the Locus Award for Young Adult novel, the American Bookseller Association's "Best Indie Young Adult Buzz Book," a Horn Book Honor, and Audio Book of the Year.

    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+.

    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.
