The Graveyard Book Graphic Novel, Volume 1 by P. Craig Russell, Neil Gaiman

4.0

---

I was surprised that this is a juvenile book, I thought it was perhaps a bit more advanced than that, but the story is rather straightforward. Bod's interaction with the varying residents of the graveyard were fascinating, although the thing that holds me back from giving this book 5 stars was that I found his character to be a little flat. Some parts of the story are also a bit more macabre than I would expect for a children's book, but then again some younger readers are probably more sophisticated than I give them credit.

I read this as an ebook, so it was hard to see the illustrations. I would be interested to take a look at the newly adapted graphic novel of this book.
