This is such a unique story with incredible beautiful illustrations. I wish the story would continue and we could learn about Silas background and what Bod is about in the world of the living. This was so very whimsical and at the end also very sad. I loved every page.

Despite the dark initial premise (a baby's family is killed by a mysterious assassin) I found this book really charming. Most of Book One's chapters focus on different characters who "live" in the graveyard, how they mix among each other. There is also the child's guardian Silas, who is most likely a vampire, and a lady who teaches the child, who turns out to be a werewolf (or Hound of God). I can see how the original book won so many awards - finding out about the different denizens of the grav...

the illustrations are great

My thoughts about overall book is here So I’ll talk about individual chapters and their high and low points (aren’t much) and illustration, without revealing too much specific information.The plot is simple; a toddler’s family was murdered and somehow he ended up living in a graveyard. So...Chapter 1This chapter proves that "Being Human” isn’t everything. You need to act like one and if you have a kind soul then you can definitely make the whole humanity proud, even if you have left the human bo...

I experienced this story originally in audiobook form and adored it then. Adapted into comics by P. Craig Russell & Co., The Graveyard Book is just as gripping as before.The slightly different rendering of Bod and his adoptive family in each chapter is consistently refreshing, much like the adaptation as a whole. They all share ties to the similarly evocative and often unsettling Little Nemo in Slumberland comics.I'd recommend this to anyone who would like something rooted in tragedy but still b...

I didn't think I could love this book more, but the graphic novel version proved me wrong. Neil Gaiman is a magnificent storyteller. I will never get tired of living in his worlds and his words.

I really enjoyed this.There was a loyal trustworthy vampire,nasty villains,monsters,thugs,caring ghosts,the most hilarious poet ever...just about everything you need in a book.

This was my first graphic novel and my second Gaiman book and I pretty much read it all in one go. Except for sleeping breaks, obvs.The story was super cute and interesting and grabbed me instantly. The protagonist, Bod, is a very clever boy from the first chapter on. Although his experiences are very limited and he struggles with the whole ghost/human being story (I like how casual that sounds) he still has enough room to grow and develop. The story was almost fairytale like. The setting and st...

Nobody “Bod” Owens is an orphaned infant left in the hands of graveyard spirits after his whole family is murdered. The Graveyard Book chronicles Bod’s coming-of-age as he grows up in the graveyard, being nurtured and taught by the dead.(It sounds morbid, but it’s really not that bad.)I thoroughly enjoyed this story. My only criticism is there are dozens of characters between both volumes, and I found it difficult to keep track of them. Albeit they don’t all serve the same significance and it’s

But between now and then there was a life and Bod walked into it with his eyes and his heart wide open. Absolutly worthwhile! 5 Stars

OMG I loved this version of Gaiman's dark story I am loving graphic novels at the minute and this one was so readable. I could see many young readers reading this one then reading the novel version too. Dark and a bit disturbing. Nightmarish but so well written with excellent characters.

Such an intriguing story. Finished this in one day, not hard with it being a graphic novel but I couldn't stop reading. I loved this version but I would still love to read the actual book. Always left wanting more with any Neil Gaiman book.

I enjoyed it just as much as I did when I read the book. It has been a bit so it was cool to read the story again, in graphic novel form now!

For my full review of The Graveyard Book story, click here.This is one of my all-time favorite stories, and reading it in graphic novel form was such a delight! It stuck extremely close to the written story and the art was just beautiful!

Beautiful illustrations. I preferred the second volume to the first as the boy got older. (I’d give the first volume 4 stars, second volume 5 stars so I guess the book is 4.5). Loved all the Silas scenes. He’s my favorite character in the book and I wish I learned more about him or they included him more - I did prefer some of the illustrators’ drawings of him over others. Overall cute book, cute story, definitely want to read the actual novel.

This was largely the same story as the book, though somewhat abridged, which meant some degree of characterization and the exact events were lost in translation. But I enjoyed the art (and was only somewhat flummoxed by the changing artists and styles). The core of the story was there.

It's not that I didn't like the story or the atmosphere of the Graveyard. But unfortunately I was pretty bored most of the time while reading. - I started this in summer! So I had to force myself to finish it.. and what better evening than on Halloween. ;) - In the end it became better when the action of the finale started. I'm not sure how much I like that every chapter is imagined by another artist. Maybe the whole thing would feel more fluent and complete if everything was done by the same. (...

”If you dare nothing then when the day is over, nothing is all you will have gained”I read The Graveyard Book a few years back and found it unique and delightful. When I found that it was adapted to a Graphic Novel, I couldn’t resist.This has all the charm of the book, with the added bonus of a visual guide. Each chapter is illustrated by different illustrators, whom kept to the same theme. But the individuality is there; making this again something so very unique that comparison is absurd and i...

Gaiman and Russell are each amazing talents in their own rights, and they bring out the very best in each other in collaboration. The array of first-rate illustrators evokes the best of Gaiman’s Sandman. Can not recommend this highly enough.

Gaiman's original novel is one of my favorites. And of course he knows comics. P.Craig Russell is no slouch in the comic adaptation world, and has worked with Gaiman before. So it's kind of a dream team. And they give the story enough room to play beautifully in comic form. A really lovely way to enjoy the Graveyard Book.
