When a baby escapes a murderer intent on killing the entire family, who would have thought it would find safety and security in the local graveyard? Brought up by the resident ghosts, ghouls and spectres, Bod has an eccentric childhood learning about life from the dead. But for Bod there is also the danger of the murderer still looking for him - after all, he is the last remaining member of the family. This novel features every second year of Bod's life, from babyhood to adolescence. Will Bod survive to be a man?

Review of 'The Graveyard Book' on 'Goodreads'

I know this is a book intended for children, but I kind of wish Gaiman were a little bit subtler about his Chekhov's guns, or at least waited more than a couple pages to fire them.

I actually read this as an eBook borrowed from the SFPL, to try out their system. Unfortunately their DRM scheme meant that I couldn't read it except using Adobe's software on my Mac, which kind of defeated the point (I'd hoped to read it on my phone to see what that experience was like). Glad I chose something short.
