Few books are more illustrated in my imagination when converted to a graphic form. Most of them suffer a loss at the hands of illustrators and hard edits. This story did not, the graphics added to the experience for me adding a feeling that had me dwelling on the pages admiring the details. I want more

Great end to this graphic novel! Very spooky and a coming age story as well.

A great conclusion to Neil Gaiman's first volume of this graphic novel format of his Graveyard Book. Now i find out that these two volumes are based on a novel by Mr. Gaiman, which i will soon obtain and read. I'm sure it will not disappoint!

I actually like Volume 2 more than Volume 1. I can't really put my finger on why.
The illustration of The Sleer, both as mist and as solid once it had found it's master, was fantastic. And my complaint about Jack's appearance was gone in this volume. He was both innocent in appearance and then beautifully intimidating, and scary.
I didn't cry at the end, but I was sad, like I was when I first read the book. Beautifully done, and absolutely perfect.
