Today I read ‘The Graveyard Book’ by Neil Gaiman. This is the first book I have ever read by this author and it was a truly amazing read! It particularly reminded me of reading Harry Potter, with a fantasy theme and unusual words. The story is based around a baby boy whose family is murdered, the baby escapes and ends up in the graveyard. The ghosts agree to bring up the baby (Bod) and over 16 years there are various adventures in and out of the graveyard. It is a story I would definitely read again and that makes it worth reading! I would particular like to read other books by this author including ‘Coraline’. |
