This was so fun to read. I have never read any graphic novels before and didn't really know where to start. I found this at the library and figured that The Graveyard Book and Neil Gaiman would be a safe place to begin. Each chapter is by a different illustrator and I loved that aspect. I am so glad that I tried something new!
A beautifully illustrated adaptation of the YA novel of the same name. I haven't read the novel yet, but on the virtue of this adaptation I have immediately bought a copy and am reading it as we speak.
I'm a big fan of Neil Gaiman but it's the artists in this adaptation that really shine. Each section is illustrated by a different artist who keep the overall theme of the art going, but still give their own personal flairs to their respective sections. I thought it would disturb me and break the flow, but it did the opposite, instead serving to highlight differences in the narrative.
All in all, a pleasant surprise and I'm hanging out with great anticipation for Volume II!

Koraline'dan sonra okuduğum en güzel hikayelerden biriydi. Hem hikayenin içindeki sıcaklık hem de hikayenin gizemi neredeyse herşey tam olarak ayarindaydi. Sadece kitabın bazı bölümlerinde özellikle iki ayrı mekan arasındaki geçişlerde geçişler cok başarılı olmamış. Sanki bir anda konu değişmiş gibi hissettiriyor. Bu da sanırım Gaiman'ın çizgi roman yazarlığının bir etkisi.
Yep. I like this version so much more than the actual novel. I love the art! Especially how each chapter features a different artist's work. Such a cool idea, and done in a way that doesn't detract from the story.

Although, I don't remember Silas being a Dracula-like figure, but who knows... it's been 6 years since I read the novel.

This is such a charming story! Now to get my hands on the second half.
It was ok-ish. I did like some parts, but most of the time I was bored and I wanted to be over with this story so even though I have a see Volume 2 borrowed from the library I am not going to continue with the story. I wasn't a big fan of the art either.
Este mismo mes me leí la novela y al terminarla decidí que tenía que entrarle a la nov. gráfica. Tiene una colaboración de varios ilustradores que se nota bastante aunque intenten respetar los perfiles y estilos base. Algunos me coparon más que otros pero no me puedo quejar de la ambientación que le han sabido dar a la historia. Lo que sí me causa mucha gracia es que Silas parezca tan Draculesco.
