The Graveyard Book CD Decide Now

Neil Gaiman's latest is supposedly written for the teenager set, but is a great read for adults too. It's both an adventure and coming-of-age story about a young boy who is adopted and protected by the resident spirits of a cemetery. While there is an element of "Harry Potter" in this, (orphaned lad, the fight between good and evil,) the beautifully sparse language of Neil Gaiman tells the tale in a more stripped down and succinct fashion - leaving it to the reader's imagination to fill in the details. The book manages to be suspenseful and humorous at the same time (as when describing the graveyard residents with their epitaphs: "Miss Letitia Borrows, spinster, Who Did No Harm to No Man all the Dais of Her Life. Reader, Can You Say Lykewise?"). The name of the main character is "Nobody" - the achievment of the book is the reader ends up caring for and wondering about the future of "Nobody."Get more detail about The Graveyard Book CD.
