Absolutely love this book, in case it wasn't obvious by the fact that I've read it 3 times now, ha ha! The characters are fantastic + I loved the spooky yet cozy vibes of the graveyard setting. It's quite lighthearted, but also manages to touch on some really heavy themes. Would absolutely recommend, especially to read around spooky season!

Great Fantasy Novel. Very descriptive and vivid. Neil Gaiman is so skilled at sucking you into these alternate worlds and environments he creates. A great read for a beginner fantasy reader.
