This was a spectacular read! It took a little while for me to really get into it but I still enjoyed it immensely. Neil Gaiman has such a way of bringing a really unique, unnerving but comforting vibe to his writing, and it came through really strongly in The Graveyard Book. There was plenty of mystery and intrigue, and characters you can’t help loving. Very bittersweet ending but I think it works well for the story.
