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.

The Graveyard Book manages the remarkable feat of playing delightful jazz riffs on Kipling's classic Jungle Books. One might call this book a small jewel, but in fact it's much bigger within than it looks from the outside., 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., This is an utterly captivating tale that is cleverly told through an entertaining cast of ghostly characters.

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+.This book is incredibly well-written, as are all of Gaiman's books. His editing, tone, vocabulary, and syntax are superb.

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.I bought The Graveyard Book because I am a fan of Neil Gaiman's work.

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.

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 everything goes according to their plan and that is how the story develops. The Order does injustice when killing innocent people and we all wait for it being somehow undone, which would be a perfect example of poetic justice. Bod, as a good character, lives unaware of the injustice that was done to him in the past. Only when he learns about what happened, he is forced, rather than he wants it himself, to face the wrong-doers and fight with them. It seems that any act of his against the evil side is caused not as much by his desire to get a revenge as by the need to protect himself and those whom he cares for. Still, there is the motif of revenge present in the book as well. When Bod hears the story of Lizzy, her death and what happened soon after it, we are given the perfect example of the mentioned rule “eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth”. Yet, in this case the revenge can be justified or, at least, understandable. I must admit I felt much better after reading the conclusion of her story. Still, Lizzy does not feel better because of it. It appears this can be only an act of goodness and care that can bring relief to her character. And this act - an act of justice - is done by Bod, who helps Lizzy regain her identity, makes her feel respected and remembered. Although the poetic justice, expressed in Lizzy’s revenge, makes us feel better as the unjust have been punished, the injustice cannot be undone by the same act of violence. Another example of unjust behaviour can be seen in the characters of Mo and Nick – school bullies. Again, Bod is the one who opposes the unjustice. Here, it is he who consciously punishes the couple and leads to the end of their violence. There is also the motif of revenge again, yet, as it would be again unjust to get it, the book does not let the vengeance take place. Instead, Mo is left with her negative emotions: “(…) and then she would concoct elaborate revenge schemes in her head, complex and vicious. They were the only thing that made her feel better, and even they didn’t really help.” (205). Again, we see that vengeance may make us feel better but it does not do any good to the world. I liked the book very much, together with its well-built characters and setting. Also the theme is intriguing and surprising, and the form makes it a kind of a mixture of a horror, crime story and fantasy. The motif of justice may not be drawing our attention but it is there and gives us great examples of the behaviour of a good character witnessing injustice. It is certainly worth reading, not only because of the theme I have just presented, but because of its great plot and really interesting characters.
