One of my favourite stories of all time, with incredible illustrations and deep character development and feeling. I want to own these two volumes, and read them over and over and over again! 💕

Wonderfully done adaptation. Read the first volume, then read this. And if you haven't read the book it is adapted from, read that, too.

What a terrific second half! I read this book so long ago, I had forgotten what happened. This was a great way to revisit it. The story, characters, artwork- all great!

I love the direction the author took in this story to complete the story of Nobody Owens. As in the first volume, the illustrations were stunning, able to tell the story as well as the written word. I wholeheartedly believe that I would not enjoy the tale as much if I read the traditional non-graphic version. Although I dislike series that drag out, I'd love to see what happens to Bod as he matures into adulthood...(no spoilers).

This second volume is every bit as incredible as the first and left me teary-eyed!
Volume 2 focuses on the second half of The Graveyard Book written by Neil Gaiman and follows Nobody Owens as he (once again) escapes the clutches of The Man Jack. This graphic novel contains chapters 6-8 and I have to say that number 7 is a real rollercoaster ride! On several occasions, I felt my heart in my mouth.
This time, the stakes are so much higher, as Bod, who is now 14, comes face to face with the man who murdered his family. A chase fraught with tension ensues.
The accompanying artwork is still breathtaking and perfectly compliments the story, whisking you away into a world where the living and the dead unite, and I can definitely see why this graphic novel adaptation has won awards.
The final chapter is Bod's farewell to the graveyard, the place which has been his home for the last 14 years, the place which has protected him against outside evil, and it is heartbreaking. Having followed Bod throughout all these ordeals, the readers have come to know him intimately, to know who his friends are in the graveyard, to know the ones who have protected him, and saying goodbye is always the hardest part.
Overall, this volume builds on the first and creates a poignant and deeply touching ending to an incredibly novel idea. Recommended to all!

An interesting graphic novel adaptation of Neil Gaiman's fantasy novel. Volume 2 was the last three chapters, and each chapter was completed in a different style, moving from more traditional comic book style to a more distinct, realistic style by the end. I would recommend reading the prose novel first, but this adaptation is definitely worthwhile as well.

The Graveyard Book concludes in graphic form in this volume with a suspenseful bang. Nob's coming of age and the balance in the graveyard is tilting. Mysteries and plot threads all come together to an amazing ending. Beautifully illustrated, it is highly recommended to be experienced by reading it during a dark, rainy evening.
