There was nothing overtly wrong with this book, or anything that would turn me off it. I love the original story. I guess this just wasn't compelling enough for me to read straight through. I set it down for a while and it took some persuading to get back into.
Nikdo, zkráceně Nik je malý chlapec, když jeho rodinu zavraždí tajemný muž. Jemu se jako jedinému podaří snad čirou náhodou přežít. Dostane se až na nedaleký hřbitov, kde se ho ujmou duchové, vlkodlaci a další záhrobní bytosti a jeho ochráncem se stane tajemný Silas, který není ani živý ani mrtvý. Prožíváme s Nikem jeho dobrodružství ze hřbitova s jeho novými přáteli, které nikdo jiný nevidí. Nik se skoro jako normální dítě učí se svými učiteli a pak si hraje, jenže to vše na hřbitově. Silas se stane jeho nejbližším, protože je moudrý a vždy dokáže Nikovi vysvětlit, na cokoliv se ho zeptá. To vše proto, že je na tomto světě dlouho. Na hřbitově platí spousta pravidel, která by se měla dodržovat, ale to by nebylo žádné dobrodružství. Takže příště nezapomeňte na Danse Macabre...
This works almost better in comic format. The book struck me as a touch disjointed but that fits into episodic issues well.
I went in not having a clue what this was about and I loved it! The illustrations were awesome and I loved the story. I now have to get the next volume!
3.5 stars. See full review at www.onemamassummer.weebly.com/bookreviews/the-graveyard-book-graphic-novel
Great version of this book. You lose a little of the description, but for the most part the illustrators make up for that. And having a different artist draw every chapter makes it that much entertaining, as they all add their own flair.
Lovely, of course. The art enhances the story, shading it darker and more sinister. I really like Gaiman's watcher characters, like Silas in this book and Dream in Sandman. I also like his understanding of children. He really is just one of the very best storytellers, ever.
I just finished it. My librarian said it had references to 'The Jungle Book'; however, I didn't pick anything up cause I have yet to read 'The Jungle Book'.
Otherwise, the book was okay.

I’m not a huge graphic novel fan, but I did enjoy this! Perfect for this time of year!
