Book Review: The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman


The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman (2007)

After the grisly murder of his entire family, a toddler wanders into a graveyard where the ghosts and other supernatural residents agree to raise him as one of their own.

Nobody Owens, known to his friends as Bod, is a normal boy. He would be completely normal if he didn't live in a sprawling graveyard, being raised and educated by ghosts, with a solitary guardian who belongs to neither the world of the living nor of the dead. There are dangers and adventures in the graveyard for a boy. But if Bod leaves the graveyard, then he will come under attack from the man Jack—who has already killed Bod's family.


The Graveyard Book is a book written by Neil Gaiman and was published in September 2007.

What I love about this book is that Gaiman doesn't waste time on this story, everything is there, at the time that you want it. I first read this book when I was like 12, and I absolutely loved it since then, and I've read it like a million times and I keep loving it every single time.

This book is beautifully written, it really keeps you hanging, the characters are super interesting, it has fascinating adventures, the theme of being raised in a graveyard and being able to see things that we don't get to, it's just so fantastic.
