Book Review: The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Graveyard Book is a deliciously dark tale about a little boy who grows up in a graveyard. Raised and accepted by the spooky residents, Bod, short for Nobody, is only truly safe within the confines of the graveyard on the hill, where the normal rules for the living hardly apply.This book made me ugly cry. Now, you may be wondering how a spooky book about a boy in a graveyard can…

We have water again! Celebrating with this bottle of Field Rye, a special fig flavored rye whiskey made for Chicago's Field Museum by Journeyman Distillery. I paired it with the always good Hrafn from Blackbird Cigar Co and the Skallywag Cigars crew. The whiskey is a nice rye that has a hint of fig sweetness. Not overwhelming like many flavored whiskeys, well balanced with the rye spice. .... Each of the dancers took a partner, the living with the dead, each to each. Bod reached out his hand and found himself touching fingers with, and gazing into the grey eyes of, the lady in the cobweb dress. She smiled at him. “Hello, Bod,” she said. “Hello,” he said, as he danced with her. “I don’t know your name.” “Names aren’t really important,” she said. “I love your horse. He’s so big! I never knew horses could be that big.” “He is gentle enough to bear the mightiest of you away on his broad back, and strong enough for the smallest of you as well.” “Can I ride him?” asked Bod. “One day,” she told him, and her cobweb skirts shimmered. “One day. Everybody does.” “Promise?” I promise.

Guess who's rereading some old favourites while they and their family go on a multi-state vacation! (Not pictured: Good Omens, Stardust, and Terry Prachett's Discworld series) I haven't read/don't own the graphic novel adaptations (Thank you, my local public library) and I'm quite excited to read those as well! #americangods #neilhimself #thegraveyardbook #neverwhere #stardust #coraline #summerreading #neilgaiman https://www.instagram.com/p/BzsyfKeghGc/?igshid=1d9d57hgj279h

Neil Gaiman- The graveyard book

[authordouglasbrowning]

The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman (quick review)   Inspired by Kipling’s The Jungle Book, Neil Gaiman, with his usual imaginative story-telling, brings us The Graveyard Book. The story follows the life of a child who becomes known as Nobody Owens, going by Bod for short. His mother, father, and sister are all murdered at the start of the story (off-page), and Bod, a mere toddler, manages to use a teddy bear to stand on and escape his crib. Then, of course, he heads to the graveyard, where he lives with the dead for the next thirteen or fourteen years of his life.   At its core, the book is a coming of age story for Bod, who must navigate and learn how to live in the graveyard with the help of a community of ghosts, most prevalently Silas, his guardian, and Mr. and Mrs. Owens who claim parental responsibility. As Bod ages, the desire to see the real world grows with him, as does his curiosity about where he really comes from.   The book could be referred to as children’s literature, and I think that is accurate, but make no mistake, the book has its dark moments. I’ve heard it compared to the Harry Potter books, but I’m not sure that would be accurate. Gaiman is known as one of those authors whose genre is difficult to classify, often some blend of horror, fantasy, and classic British Literature.   Whatever it is, The Graveyard Book is ideal for anyone interested in young-adult fantasy, but one might expand that audience to anyone who is interested in fantastical literature from authors like Clive Barker or even H.P. Lovecraft.   If we’re nit-picking, you might say the villains are all flat characters. You might be right, but that never bothered me. Bod is a strong, active force that takes over this book from the beginning. As readers, we love seeing him grow and overcome, often with his own wit.   I recommend this to just about everyone who enjoys horror or fantasy. I also recommend reading the text first, but listening to Neil Gaiman’s performance on audio is mind blowing.  #amreading #neilgaiman #thegraveyardbook #horror #fantasy #amreadingfiction #books #childrensliterature #youngadult #youngadultfiction https://www.instagram.com/p/BpdQfQmHxJf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vrphfjat3rzr

Genialna rzecz. Czytam dzięki podkastowi @cosieczyta, gdzie w odcinku „Strachy na lachy” wysłuchałam rekomendacji tej książki. Dziecko, które wychowują zmarli na cmentarzu - sam pomysł naprawdę creepy, ale książka nie jest horrorem. Dużo tu baśniowości, są i wątki obyczajowe, sporo refleksji o przyjaźni, przynależności, dorastaniu. Wspaniały przekład Pauliny Braiter, znakomicie się czyta. Polecam bardzo, choć pewnie Neila Gaimana wcale polecać nie trzeba :) #neilgaiman #thegraveyardbook #książki #kochamksiążki #coczytam #halloween #duchy #bookphotography #blogksiążkowy #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo7bFtplmAC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1t5z08xspjqhr
