“The prose reads well, as expected of Gaiman, and the characters are all interesting, not at all creepy (as "graveyard" would suggest)--specially Nobody Owens and Silas. It's a perfect homage to Kipling, Gaiman style. The wit, humor and suspense are comfortable, making this book a very easy read. I have both UK and US editions and I think Chris Riddell's illustrations (UK ed) are better suited to the story. (Also, this book actually saved me from drowning in "Twilight" fluff.)”
