It's always a joy to read a Neil Gaiman book! The world he creates for the reader is just exhilarating.
In this book, The Graveyard Book, the world he creates is this graveyard somewhere in Glasgow, Scotland - and the characters you meet are just the ones you'd expect to meet in a cemetery - but in this interesting plot twist - it will take this graveyard to raise a living breathing baby.
Many interesting things happen to the baby as it grows up to be a young man - and that I will leave for you to read - as this is a children's book - and something that you should finish in a day or two.
Every chapter in the book brings you to a different world - as the graveyard is filled with many supernatural beings - from ghosts, to ghouls, to witches - and of course, bad human beings.
There are several quotable quotes in this book - and I admit that some of them even inspired me and gave me zest again in life.
I will try to buy my own copy of the book so I can highlight the words that mean to me the most!
