Summary of this Book...
A family is killed by an alleged stranger, but an infant somehow escapes the killer's rampage and manages to escape to of all places, a graveyard. It is there that he is raised by ghosts that only he can see, and his adventures as he grows up are summarized beautifully in this excellent youth book.
This type of Book is good for...
For bringing young students into the realm of writing and reading, and using their imaginations.
I especially liked...
Not to give away the ending, but for this being a 'ghost' story of sorts, it has a very nice conclusion.
I didn't like...
I only wish it could it have been longer. But since it is a young adult novel, the length is probably perfect.
When I finished n/a this Book I wanted to...
Look into what else Neil Gaiman's mind can come up with.
This Book made me feel...
It kind of made me feel like a kid again. It brought back memories of one of the first books I ever read: Charlie And The Chocolate Factory
The n/a of this Book...
Gaiman spent over 20 years completing this book, after being inspired by his own child walking through graveyards.
I recommend this Book because...
For a young adult (age 10 and up), it's a great way to be introduced into literature, both reading and writing it.
Further Comments...
I'm definitely going to recommend this book to my daughter to have my Grandsons to read!
