I read this last month actually and found it to be really interesting. It's a pretty unique idea, at least to me. Some have said it has similarity to the Jungle Book but I guess I don't see it. The beginning will really draw you in just because it's not a typical start. I think you guys will enjoy it.
I love this book. I thought it was really unique and interesting as well. I did the audio for it last year. Neil Gaiman is the narrator and he is fantastic reading his own work. If anyone is interested you can get the whole audio online because Gaiman did a tour where he read a whole chapter at every stop.
I read this a few months ago and absolutely loved it. I love Neil Gaiman and this is probably one of my favorite stories of his. The beginning draws you in and the whole story keeps you sucked in.
Just finished this book (in one night off lol) and really enjoyed it. Found it to be a fairly quick and interesting read which kept me interested the whole time. Love the concept.
I read it shortly after it came out. I actually have it at home again from the library so my daughter can read it. I really enjoyed it.
I read it when it first came out. It wasn't one of my favorite Neil Gaiman books... However, Neil Gaiman is my favorite author, so even my least favorite Gaiman book is still better (IMO) than most books. :)
Hearing Neil Gaiman read the book jacket for the Graveyard Book is a great intro to what an excellent job he does on his audiobooks. I particularly recommend American Gods on audiobook if you enjoy this format.
