The Graveyard Book - Neil Gaiman - Book Review!


The Graveyard Book - is a young adult fantasy novel by the English author Neil Gaiman, simultaneously published in Britain and America during 2008. "Wikipedia"

Hello, my beautiful friends! Thanks for coming again! How are you living? So, Today I am going to talk about a fantasy book called The Graveyard Book!


The Graveyard Book:
A Harper Classic

It starts with three murders. There were supposed to be four. The man Jack was one of the best and how hard is it to kill a toddler anyway? But on that particular night, the little boy went for midnight toddle out the front door while the murderer was busy and straight into the nearby graveyard. Saved and protected by the denizens of that particular abode, the little boy is called Bod, short for Nobody because no one knows his name. As he grows older, Bod learns the secrets of the graveyard, though he has to be careful.

The Graveyard Book has this strong, strange, beautiful metaphor about kids growing up, learning about the more full world, and exploring beyond the safe boundaries of their homes.

Bod makes quite a few careless or thoughtless mistakes, and yet you don’t feel particularly inclined to throttle him because of them. He reaches each stage of his growth, he encounters experiences and personalities that help him to reach maturity.

A high fantasy novel that has the potential to appeal to both boy and girl readers. This book feels like a book written by a parent with children growing up and moving out. It’s a title that tips its hat to kids making their way in the world, their pasts behind them, their futures unknown. This is not yet another silly little fantasy novel, but something with weight and depth. The fact that it just happens to be loads of fun to boot is simply a nice bonus. Highly recommended.
