Al principio me desesperé un poco porque había nada de información sobre el pasado de Nad, pero pasando la mitad de la historia estaba más que complacida, es una historia padrísima, llena de misterio, moralejas, aventuras, monstruos que no parecen monstruos y héroes que no parecen héroes. Habrìa sido la niña más feliz de los multiversos si esta historia hubiera existido entonces. Estoy encantadísima con las obras de Gaiman que estoy conociendo.
Live long Bod! and Silas, and dead people who lives at the graveyard and Gaiman, of course!

My 10 year old and I read this and we both loved it. It's mysterious and cool, and I love that I can share Neil Gaiman with my kid! Looking forward to Volume 2.
Loved the novel version of this, and loved the graphic novel just as much. This is such an interesting story, unlike anything else I've ever read. Loved it just as much the second time.
4.5
De los libros más ingeniosos que he leído en mucho tiempo.
Sé que hubo algunos vacíos en la historia, en comprender poco más lo que Neil Gaiman planteaba. Me quedé con la espinita de conocer más a Silias, pero el mismo tiempo lo entendí, ya que solamente leemos desde Nadie Owens, y todo lo que él conoce.
Fuera de eso, me pareció hermosa la historia y original. Que te adopten fanstas del cementerio??? Y hablar sobre vida y muerte???.
Amamos.

When I initially added The Graveyard Book to my Goodreads "To Read" shelf, I didn't look to see that it was Juvenile Fiction. Furthermore, when I checked the book out at my local library, I didn't realize I had selected the Graphic Novel over the original book. To my surprise, I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I found the story unique.
A baby wanders to a graveyard, and befriends the lot of ghosts who inhabit it. He grows up there and is taken care of by the many spirits of the Dead. One of my favorite characters, Silas, the Graveyard Dracula, who offers sage advice and watches as Bod's guardian.

At the start of this book, we are introduced to a man named Jack and the family he has just murdered. Jack killed everyone except a small toddler, who happened to have wandered away before Jack got to his room. The toddler wandered all the way up to a graveyard on the hilltop of his town where his mother appears as a ghost and asks the ghosts of the graveyard to please watch over, protect, and raise her son. After some deliberation, the ghosts agree that one couple will foster the boy and the graveyard will raise him. They give him the name Nobody, because he looks like nobody they know. This story then continues with telling the adventures of Nobody (Bod) Owens as he grows up in the Graveyard. But, Jack is still in search of him to finish the job he started. Will he ever find Nobody Owens, the boy who got away?
First, I’m going to start by saying that I haven’t actually read The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaimain. But, when I found this book at the Library, I couldn’t pass it up. This was such a mistake. I finished this two weeks ago and am dying to know what happens. Where the graphic novel leaves off is such a massive cliffhanger. I need to know what happens right now.
I really loved this book. It was so easy to give it 5 out of 5 stars. The writing, which I’m assuming is Gaiman’s actual text adapted, flows so nicely. I didn’t feel like big chunks were missing at all, or that the story was lacking. Since I haven’t read The Graveyard Book yet, I don’t know what was all left out from the graphic novel, but the story flowed so well, I can’t image there was too much cut – especially with this having two books in the series.
I also loved the illustrations. They are so pretty and practical and fabulous and fantastic. It’s so cool that multiple illustrators worked on this project. I loved that. Each chapter/adventure is illustrated by a different artist, and it is so awesome to see the unique style in each different section. Each artist brought their own style to the general idea, which sounds like it might be irritating – having so many different small differences, but it wasn’t at all. This just added even more to love to the story.
Overall, I cannot say enough good things about this book. I loved every aspect of it and have no complaints I recommend this to people who love graphic novels, especially those looking for sci-fi/fantasy. I also recommend this to anyone looking to get into graphic novels. Give this one a shot. It weaves an awesome story and is a great sort of in between step from novel to graphic novel.

I really enjoyed reading this one and I am looking forward to the next volume.
The storyline is very good (not excellent), which makes for a delightful light reading and the artwork looks really good. You can clearly see that there has been a lot of work done for the pictures!
I also liked that the book it split in 5 parts that are somehow 5 individual substories so it gives you a "natural" separation if you want to pause and read a bit later without leaving a story in the middle.
