The Graveyard Book
Nobody Owens is a normal boy, or he would be if he didn’t live in a graveyard. Raised from infancy by ghosts, werewolves and other denizens of the night, the young orphan has learned the antiquated customs of his guardians’ times, as well as their ghostly teachings, such as the Fade, the Slide and the Dreamwalk.
All of which comes in handy when Bod faces the dangers and adventures of the cemetery—an ancient Indigo Man, an abandoned city of ghouls, the strange and terrible menace of the Sleer. As Bod begins to venture outside the bounds of his tomb-filled home, he discovers he must use all the tricks his supernatural family has taught him. But will it be enough to help him survive the man Jack...who has already killed his family?

Though this book seemed geared towards younger readers, I enjoyed it very much. I would have liked it to be a little longer and to have developed some of the relationships a little more.

I, who am not into fantasy, love this book. It is funny and inspiring. I bought the audio version for my Ipod so I could listen to it any time I needed a pick-me-up. Neil Gaiman has mastered the English language with wit and subtlety. I doubt he was taught. I think he was born talented. I can see his characters as I am writing this. They are so real, I would know them if I met them in the park.

Gaiman is a master of stories that are great for young and old alike. It is a kids book, we're talking simple language, imaginative worlds, and good ole' black and white evil. But it is a book that as soon as I finished i was looking around for children to read it too... just for an excuse to re-read it.
