The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
Did not finish book. Stopped at 39%.

Just could not get into it. Wasn't interesting to me. But it wasn't written for my age.

Loved the audio book and how it was framed as a podcast. Felt very real. And the acting was phen menal. Only took off .75 because the best friend was irritating 😅

The book overall was not a good read/listen. The only reason I finished it, was due to the audio narrator whose performance was well done. I hated the majority of characters, other than Kendra and Brian. Being stuck in the other POVs was not pleasant and I just wanted them to end. 
The prose itself was fine for the most part, but the dialogue was painful with a lot of "blank said" and "blank said" back and forth and back and forth. A bit grating on the ears. 
It was more of a mystery thriller, I guess. Though the ending wasn't that surprising, since it's woven throughout with time jumps. Which were also confusing at times. 
Kendra was a solid character though. 10/10 for her.
