The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman

Yesterday I finished reading The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman... The first story I have ever read from Gaiman was a tale called Murder Mysteries (which I found amazingly good) for a Book Club with a couple of friends... One of them suggested I read this book (she has already written about this book in her own Blog here - in Portuguese) so I decided to give it a try...

The Graveyard Book tells the story about Bod, 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 timely ghostly teachings-like the ability to Fade.bCan a boy raised by ghosts face the wonders and terrors of the worlds of both the living and the dead? And then there are things like ghouls that aren't really one thing or the other.

It is a very interesting and original story with a very well developped plot. If you've never read anything by Gaiman you should really give it a try... I already got several audiobooks from him now... Can't wait to hear them...
Goodreads: 4.1 stars

PS: Now I can start reading Pretty Little Liars!!!
