I LOVE Neil Gaiman's writing style because I feel like I am right there experiencing everything along with Nobody.
The Graveyard Book throws you right into some action that keeps a hold of you until the very last page. Each chapter is basically a story of Bod's life and I enjoyed each one. I definitely stayed up late finishing this one because I could not put it down.
The characters are all amazing and vibrant. Nobody is the sweetest kid that has to learn things a bit differently since he is raised by ghosts and a guardian but he does pretty well. Silas is a very strong presence but I wish we could have learned more about his actual background. Of all the fun characters we meet along the way, Miss Lupescu will always be my favorite. I wouldn't mind eating some of her more interesting food choices while participating in her lessons.
I highly recommend this to any Neil Gaiman fan, someone looking for a light spooky read, and/or anyone who liked Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas.

I listened to the audiobook read by Neil Gaiman himself (on youtube) and he was fantastic and so funny. This has become one of my favorite audiobooks.
