This was a really fun, mildly spooky book about a living boy who is raised by the dead inhabitants of a graveyard. Yes, you read that correctly. It's creepy and funny, and Neil Gaiman (as ever) does his best to introduce his readers to new and exciting elements at every bend. I was enchanted by Gaiman's narration of the audiobook (once again) and have possibly decided to only ever listen to Gaiman's books so long as he is the one doing the narration.
