Me and the 10 other people in the world who didn't fall in love with this book are just going to take our titles as hipsters, and embrace it.
I have to say I enjoyed this. This novel is probably one of the most popular books in middle grade. I went into this low expectations, but even with that, it didn't fulfill what I needed from this. I thought the writing was good, and the characters were good enough. It did drag on a little bit for me, which is the reason why I didn't finish this in one sitting, and had to spread it over 3 days.
On the other hand, I would definitely recommend this book to a little child since it will introduce him/her to different important topics they need to know about such as death and friendship. I also think this would make a killer Tim Burton animated movie (no pun intended).

Fantastic. Marvelous. Wonderful. Yes, I would say I liked it. I found the first few pages disturbing. I read them the first time, then went and read something else because I wasn't sure I wanted to keep reading this book. The idea of it - a boy raised by ghosts, my love of [b:Coraline|17061|Coraline|Neil Gaiman|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1327871014s/17061.jpg|2834844], and the fact the story had grabbed me, all brought me back again. Glad they did. I really liked this book. A little dark, but in a good way.

Great book for all ages!!
Beautiful and exciting story about a kid raised in a graveyard. The book is full of adventures, friendship and love by ghosts, vampires, etc. All scary but kind to the boy. A must read by all!
