REVIEW: The Graveyard Book By: Neil Gaiman

The Graveyard Book
By: Neil Gaiman 
In this Newbery Medal-winning novel, Bod is an unusual boy who inhabits an unusual place—he's the only living resident of a graveyard. Raised from infancy by the ghosts, werewolves, and other cemetery denizens, Bod has learned the antiquated customs of his guardians' time as well as their ghostly teachings—such as the ability to Fade so mere mortals cannot see him.
Can a boy raised by ghosts face the wonders and terrors of the worlds of both the living and the dead? And then there are being such as ghouls that aren't really one thing or the other.



Review:
Lets start by saying how freaking amazing this idea was! So stinking good and the way he did it was so awesome. Yes this book gets lots of hype, but come on good things deserve good words.
It took me a little longer to read it, no doesnt mean I didnt like it.. more or less means I enjoyed the world and the characters. I wanted to make it last. I loved Bods story, watching him grow up and following him in his little adventures. I dont even know what to say about this book but I LOVED IT.
The author did such an amazing job with the story. I like how he wrapped it up, it was a very good ending to a great and unusual story.
