Tim Burton would love this book and should make it into a movie. A light ghost, ghoulish type book with bad characters who are very bad not all that scary. Delightful selection of mildly scary mini-stories woven into the adventures of a character named Nobody Adams who was raised in a graveyard and protected and taught by various levels of spirits who create a very different type of family for Bod (Nobody). Fun, interesting, slightly philosophical. A bit of a romance is mixed in. Delightful ending though slightly expected though the creation of the final encounter with the bad characters is fun. A fast read and for the most part a "don't want to put it down" read. Highly recommended. This is my first novel that I have read with this author and I expect it will not be my last.
