The Graveyard Book by Neil GaimanAbout: Nobody Owens, or Bod, grows up in a graveyard raised by ghost parents and friends and a guardian who is neither dead nor alive. There are dangers and adventures in the graveyard, but if Bod leaves the graveyard, then he will come under attack from the man Jack, who has already killed Bod's family...
Opinion: This book was good. The characters were interesting and the story was constantly moving. The Graveyard Book was a nice change from all of the novels about girls and boys falling helplessly and hopelessly in love with all the wrong people, experimenting with drugs and such, or just teens struggling with volatile hormones (This is not to say that those novels can't be good. They can, but sometimes you need a change of pace). It was a fun read, but I feel it should be noted that it is geared toward younger people.
Rating: 3
