I finished, after about a month of reading, The Graveyard Book by the amazing author Neil Gaiman. The book is about a baby, whose family is murdered by "a man named Jack", he survives by crawling out of bed and into a graveyard. He is adopted by the local ghosts, they give him the name Nobody (Bod) and give him the rights of the graveyard. Bod is watched over by his new mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. Owens and his neither dead nor living guardian, Silas. The story follows Bod growing up, his adventures in and out of the graveyard and the ever present threat of the man Jack who still hunts him. The book is very fun, I loved the characters, all the ghosts, especially the local witch ghost, Elizabeth "Liza" Hepstock. And of course Bod and Silas and their unique relationship together. I highly recommend this book for anyone who enjoys a good adventure and Neil Gaiman's page turning books.
