al principio se me hizo muy aburrido (de ahí que tardara un mes en leerlo) pero a partir del capítulo 3 se empieza a volver más entretenido y adictivo. sin quererlo le cogí cariño a los personajes y me dio mucha pena el final :( primer libro de gaiman que leo y creo que leeré alguno más!!

I am not sure how to take this book. I loved the writing style. However, I found myself annoyed with the predictability of the story. Then when I had forged through the weighted down middle, there was a twist at the very end of the book which was out of the blue. Its hard to explain, its almost like the author at the last minute decided to switch up the ending and forgot to leave clues throughout. I love twists at the end of books, but prefer to read it and have an "a-ha" moment that ties it all together. I didnt really get that with this book. Again, I loved the writing style and the characters were well developed. Just still processing the ending.
Me gustó muchísimo, la historia , aunque el final no tanto maybe no era lo que esperaba y por eso no me gusto tanto pero todo el libro está padre
I don't necessarily think the Graveyard Book needed a graphic adaptation, it is already perfect as it is but you can't argue with amazing illustrations from some of the best artists like Jill Thompson and P. Craig Russell. The overall style is very reminiscence of the art from the Sandman books but cleaner, more timeless. I love how Silas is interpreted, almost exactly how I pictured him. Really enjoyed reading this and looking forward to volume two this fall.

For some reason I liked the story more in the traditional format even though everything is exactly the same

A decent adaptation of Gaiman's 'Graveyard Book', though it's lacking a bit from loss of Gaiman's prose (which I find generally transportive).
Right from the start I was hit by the missing first line. I mean, how do you get rid of, "There was a hand in the darkness, and it held a knife."
I mean, it's like writing the Gunslinger without, "The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed."
Maybe I missed it? (I've returned the book to the library, so I can't check again... but I did keep going back and forth looking for it... )
Anyway -
Some of the characters didn't look quite like I imagined them, especially Silas and Miss Lupescu, but it comes expected that the artists image isn't necessarily going to be the one you dreamt up.

Overall, not a bad adaptation - but I still prefer the original.

The book by Neil Gaiman is one of my top 10 all time favorite books. There is nothing like it out there. Unique and fresh and gothic. Now, it has been adapted into a graphic novel. What I like about this, is I can read it in much shorter time and enjoy it. A few details had already begun to fade from my mind and now they are back.
Bod is an orphan taken in by residents of a graveyard. He has their protection as well. Silas is his guardian and he is a Vampire. Bod is short for Nobody Owens. He is a boy that lives among tombstones and ghosts and other things. He gets lessons and advice from dead people. It is a wonderful little story. It's funny, my mom read this after I told her how good it was and she did not like the story. I can't understand. We like many of the same stories and she was not a fan. I guess I have a bit darker streak than she does at times.
I can't wait to finish the story with Vol. 2. I think my favorite part of the whole thing was the Danse Macabrae. Many people wouldn't have put that in the story, but it takes it to a whole new level and adds something special and magical. It is so memorable. This is Gaiman at this best in my opinion. I can go on and on, but I will leave it at this. If you don't want to read the whole book, this is a great way to read the story. How do the Brits have such a great literary history. I guess 2,000 years of history does help or so. I also think it's in the water.
