I listened to the audio version of this one narrated by Neil Gaiman. I loved everything about this one even though I was a little hesitant to start it because I thought it would be to YA for my taste. I was wrong. While geared toward a younger audience the story itself was more than engaging enough ...
This was another book that I kind of expected to like more than I actually did. It felt more like a collection of short stories then a novel -- and when I went to my book club group to discuss it, I discovered that Gaiman was in fact aiming for something of a "hybrid" between a collection of short s...
"What can I say about Mr. Gaiman that hasn't already been said? Imaginative, creative, innovative, original, these all come to mind after reading The Graveyard Book. l know, it's loosely based on Kipling's The Jungle Book, but that does not in any way diminish the originality of this story. In fact,...
To be completely honest, if it weren’t for the amazing cast and music I would’ve lost interest in this book at first.

Me to my 13-year-old daughter: "I just finished a book you HAVE to read!" Daughter: "What's it called?" Me: "The Graveyard Book." Daughter: [Raises one eyebrow, initiates eye roll] Me: "It's about a baby boy whose parents and sister are violently murdered but he escapes and is raised by ghos...
Half of it bored me to death, half of it was original and exciting. The main problem was that it felt like Bod's adventures were not connected; happens this and it ends; starts another chapter with a new problem/adventure and it ends. Other thing is that there are many characters that seemed interes...

Superbe livre, très poétique et prenant, entraînant et mystérieux tout comme Coraline, un petit côté dark qui n'est pas pour déplaire le tout dans une étrange douceur teintée d'humour. A dévorer incessamment !
