Me encantó, es toda una aventura. Ojalá hubiera sido más largo, o hubiera estado más definido el sentido de la historia desde un comienzo, pero creo que eso queda bien con la historia de Nad. Me encariñé mucho.

Gaiman nos trae ésta peculiar historia de un niño que por fortuna o destino va a parar a un cementerio abandonado, en dónde los fantasmas tendrán que hacerse cargo de él y esconderlo de un villano que ha asesinado a toda su familia y que aún lo busca.
Qué buenos momentos pasé leyendo éste libro, con una narración entretenida y ágil que nos hace estar siempre atentos a lo que sigue.
Ver la historia desde los ojos de Nadie Owens ha sido una experiencia muy bonita y divertida, el final me dio mucha nostalgia pero me llevo en mi corazón el recuerdo de estos personajes tan entrañables como son el mismo Nad y mi querido Silas, el mejor tutor que cualquiera podría tener.
Las ilustraciones también son buenísimas y le añaden un plus muy agradable al libro. Se los recomiendo muchísimo si quieren pasar un rato ameno y tener una lectura ligera.

The Graveyard Book was the first official Gaiman book I ever read. Technically, I read Good Omens first, but without a step-by-step explanation of who wrote what, I don't consider it genuinely my first Gaiman. The book dragged me in, kicking and screaming, and now I'm head over heels for the man's words.
In comic form, this book is even more beautiful, even more powerful, even more moving. All of the characters that you were paying attention to, but who didn't come to the forefront of your imagination, are drawn here, and have the opportunity to make an impression. Snooty school teachers and Honorable Dukes alike.
I do have two complaints though. One, The Man Jack is not up to my standards. He looks like just any neighborhood bad guy, with the hat and sweater in the opening panels. The Man Jack is a force, a scary, horrible force. While the idea of him looking like Just Any Man is certainly scary, I wanted more presence, more...something. He was very ordinary, and I wanted more.
Second, Silas. I didn't, at first, realize Silas was a vampire. If I recall correctly, someone else had to tell me Silas was a vampire, and I felt like an idiot. I knew Silas was tall, and intimidating, but a gentle giant. Here, in illustrated form, he's flat out monster, straight out the gate. Kind of disappointing.
He's beautifully drawn, though. There's a panel where he's standing in full spread form, with Bod in the foreground, and it's beautiful. I'd like that as a print on my walls.
Volume 2 tomorrow. I can't wait.
