The Graveyard Book Audiobook

" The characteristic mix of fantasy and reality that is Gaiman's trademark - there is a delicious level of threat and scary stuff, without undue horror for the sake of horror - and Gaiman's ability to tell a story without spelling out each detail - letting the characters and situations speak for themselves is excellent. As always, his voice is rich and complex and draws you in as if you are there. "

" The Graveyard Book is a great story and would make a really great movie. Neil's writing is very much his own and it comes through in this story. I would consider this book to be in the "young adult" category, but as a grown-up I found it simply charming. "

" Fantastic idea from Neil Gaiman. The beginning is an immediate attention- drawer and the mini adventures inside this book are phenomenal. This book keeps you reading to the very end to discover the identity of the villain. A slight twist at the end gives the book a lot of character. I would definitely recommend this book to any other 10-15 year old boy or girl as the life of Bod is filled with excitement and surprise. "

" I enjoyed this book much more than "American Gods". The story structure was more straightforward, leading to a satisfying climax. I loved the characters who inhabited the graveyard, especially Silas, (his guardian), and I thought that he riffed successfully on the original "Jungle Book" without giving up many surprises. "

" This was a fun ghost story -- makes me want to re-read The Jungle Book as Gaiman's book was clearly based on it. "

" I love Neil Gaiman's writing. I actually listened to this book with my daughter on a cross country trip. I enjoyed as much as Harry Potter books. "

" macabre fantasy story about a boy who grows up on a graveyard, running from a murderer "

" Fantastic book! Seeing Bod grow up was probably the best part. While he changed, the graveyard remained the same. Hence, a very bittersweet ending. Definitely one of the best books I've read in a while. I look forward to reading more works by Neil Gaiman! "

" "I thoroughly enjoyed this story, even with the fantastical setting of the graveyard. While I suspect this is intended for younger audiences, it had a definitive Harry Potter feel, helped along by the British voice, Neil Gaiman's own. A good against evil fun read." "

" Good coming of age book for a junior high student "

" I read this book with my class,the beginning was slow, and the chapters were long but it was worth it!At first it keeps you hanging and makes you want to read more.Its a little boring until you get to chapter#7 than you'll be really hooked!it has a weird twisted ending that I think youll like! ;) "

" One of my favorite books - ever! "

" Neil Gaiman...I love all his words. "

" I think it's impossible for Neil Gaiman to write something I don't love. "

" Listened to it read by Neil on line. One of the best authors ever. Very original and intriguing story. "

" A wonderful, wonderful book. I thought that my favorite book by Neil Gaiman was Coraline, but The Graveyard Book is just as good - maybe better. "

" Awesome book! Very creative and it has some great characters. I love every chapter of it. "

" Loved the audiobook! Made for the perfect bedtime story. I suspect if I'd been reading it I might have found the plotty bits and the conclusion a bit unsatisfying, but with Neil Gaiman doing awesome voices all that slid by without a problem. "

" It was pretty great, I didn't even get that it was a take on the Jungle Book until I was finished. "

" Wonderful story for kids or adults. "

" Read this for my kids and they loved it. "

" A great young adult book. "

" This book was so weird but good at the same time. It took some getting used to having a boy grow up in a graveyard. "

" very enjoyable and not your average book. the story is quite heart-warming even whilst cradled in subjects that for most are dire. this is a book of the anti-hero in their glory and misunderstood as they may be, their triumph is still one of joy. "

" I, unfortunately, did not like this book at all. I was reccomeneded this book last year, and i read i think one chapter. i did not get any of the story at all. "

" Wow, that started off creepy. I'm hoping there is a follow on, I'm interested in how Bod turns out in the real world. "

" It is an amazing book that will just leave you facinated!! "

" A cute story that I will def. share with my future children :) "

" Gaiman has earned his Newbery. This middle-grade story has every element of great fiction: imaginative language, humor, suspense, clearly-drawn characters, and pathos. I went from hiding under the covers to reaching for a Kleenex a couple of times. "

" Neil does the audio version, a must listen. "
