2022: I didn’t enjoy this as much upon rereading, but it is overall still an enjoyable, episodic, deathy read.
2015: Chapter five almost made me cry; it was so beautiful. This was so imaginative. Bod is such an interesting character, what with his lack of fear and his ghostly ways. I was a bit mad with the ending when Bod cannot live in the graveyard anymore once he hits puberty because magic can no longer exist once you hit puberty, apparently. But all in all this was a very, very good book.
