    Review of Graveyard Book

    1. Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
    2. What worked for me was the changing of stories with each chapter. Each chapter was a different story that introduced different characters who would appear in a later chapter. This was how the story was set up until the very end where each chapter blended into the next.
    3. What didn’t work for me was the simplicity of the novel with the beginning. It seemed written down for children whereas I was used to Gaiman’s older and more sophisticated novels, this seemed written down to children until much later in the book.
    4. I will remember the chapter about Bod (Nobody-the main character) and his interaction with the witch, I did a play about the Salem witches and this chapter stood out for me, particularly his grave marker for the witch.
    5. I give this 5 stars.

    This si a very different book. It is very interesting though. Bod's family is murdered so to protect him he is given the freedom of the graveyard. The ghosts of the graveyard become his family and he isn't even told the truth until the man Jack who killed his family has come back.

    This is a great read. The writing is smooth and easy to read. There is enough action to keep reluctant readers turning the pages, but also some moments for readers to reflect and think about what they have read. It is suspenseful in parts and has some surprises. Gaiman does a good job of leaving the reader thinking he knows what is going on then steering the story in a surprising direction.
    The characters are well crafted and interesting. The ending is satisfying. Overall this is a top read, one of the better books I have read.

    I think that this book was really good. It was kind of wierd how a boy grows up with ghosts, but it was really cool beacuse you could see how the boy was treated and how he had to grow up in a graveyard instead of a regular home.

    Creepy, good, and another thing, I found out on page one where it is describing a "sharp, deadly butcher knife" that I am way too young to read this thing!

    Sorry...I don't get it. I was intrigued at the outset, but struggled to finish.
