Review: The Graveyard Book

The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have read few books by Mr. Gaiman and plan on reading more of his work so how could I leave his children catalog, I had seen coraline the movie a long time ago and way later I learned about that book and later this book. I wanted to read it for so long and now I have. What do I feel about it. I may be 36 years old guy but I am still a child at heart and love YA and Children literature. So you would see my TBR filled with YA books and then some more.

This book starts with a murder where a toddler manages to escape the killer and crawls to a graveyard where he is adopted by the ghosts of that graveyard. The baby is named Nobody Owens and his adventures begin. And along with the members of the graveyard he learns and grows up.

There are ghosts here, Vampires, Werewolves, Ghouls, Mummies and more supernatural beings but all are friendly; and the humans are monsters. This is simple and magical book. There are few illustrations but I could have certainly used few more of them.

This is another book which you should first buy for your young one and then read yourself and always remember to just Keep on Reading .
