A review by blairconrad
The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
5.0
I liked it. Reminiscent of other [a:Gaiman|1221698|Neil Gaiman|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1234150163p2/1221698.jpg]s (which is both a good and a slightly bad thing – I sometimes find that each book has characters that feel like other characters, such as the man Jack and the pair of baddies in [b:Neverwhere|14497|Neverwhere A Novel|Neil Gaiman|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41EJ07XP7SL._SL75_.jpg|16534], but then again, it’s been a while since I read Neverwhere).
As always, Gaiman tells a good story, and well. His conversational tone entertained me and, I thought, would work well for a younger person reading this book.
I enjoyed the progression we saw in Bod, and I became more and more fond of him as the book progressed.
One concern I have is that the opening is pretty intense, and I’d be afraid that I’d traumatize any youngster I gave or read this book to.
I really liked the Danse Macabre treatment.
