The way that the entire graveyard really pitched into raising Bod was super heart warming, and all of his interactions with the ghosts were lovely. I thought that each and every character was super interesting, be it the other ghosts or his various guardians or Silas. I know that this is a children’s book, but I really loved it (even cried a little bit at the ending). This one was actually on my to-read list for a very long time, and it finally made it’s way to my currently reading pile on a really long flight to the West coast.
I had heard a lot about American Gods (bought my brother a beautiful edition which he never read) and watched Good Omens (an incredible show to say the least) but I’ve never read one of his books. I don’t know if this is a common experience or maybe just me, but… I hadn’t read any Neil Gaiman before this. 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 things like ghouls that aren’t really one thing or the other. 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.
Bod is an unusual boy who inhabits an unusual place-he’s the only living resident of a graveyard.
