Book Review #788 - The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman

5499874






Nobody Owens, known to his friends as Bod, is a normal boy. He would be completely normal if he didn't live in a graveyard, being raised and educated by ghosts.

There are dangers and adventures for Bod in the graveyard. But it is in the land of the living that real danger lurks for it is there that the man Jack lives and he has already killed Bod's family.


My Rating: 3/5


I picked this book up in 2017 and DNF'd it not far into it which I am glad I did because reading it for the 2018 Spookathon was the perfect time to read a book like this.

This is my second Neil Gaiman book - the first being Coraline and I have so many of his others on my TBR so it definitely will not be my last.

This book is primarily set in a very old cemetery where a toddler finds himself after a man murdered his whole family. He is then brought up by his adopted ghost parents.

There were also famous ghosts present such as Victor Hugo and Harry Truman which along with all the other non-famous ghosts acted as a family for Nobody Owens (Bod).
