    I really enjoyed the audio of this book. I did not particularly enjoy the story itself (I know, I am the only person on the planet) but listen to Gaiman tell his story was worth every moment of my time.

    I haven't read this book, but picked it up and set it back down in the library only yesterday in order to read American Gods instead! I heard he was a great author and wanted to read a novel by him. I started the book today only to find out about the Newbery Medal for this book an hour later. Coincidence?! I think Im a new Gaiman fan! I knew that I had found something special and I had been right! I couldnt wait to read this book before it was an award winner, but now it is at the top of my list. Congrats to the author! Keep them coming!

    Since this book was just awarded the Newbery Medal, I am wondering about the age group it is appropriate for? Amazon lists the book for age 9-12, but I've seen a couple of things that say YA? I have only listened to the first chapter being read by Neil Gaiman and plan to read the book, but I'm curious about other opinions out there on the audience. If it is considered YA why was it not in the Printz category instead of the Newbery? Any thoughts on this?

    I would highly recommend listening to Neil Gaimen read it aloud, especially the live recording on his website. He has a wonderful voice, and it's fun to hear everyone laugh and gasp along with you. Plus hearing the sound intended by the writer to be "Help" in Night Gaunt is amusing.

    I can't wait to get this book in. I pre-ordered it a month ago, and now I'm just waiting for it to show up on my doorstep. Should have just bought it in the store. Oh well, another couple of days won't kill me.

    Mrs. Lupescu is a wonderful name. It's Romanian - "Lup" means wolf and "escu" is a common family name ending. And she even says "da", the word for "yes" from time to time and calls Bod "Nimini" - which is a sort of accented "nobody" in Romanian (the correct for is "nimeni", but who cares). Neil is wonderful like that.
