The Graveyard Book - Neil Gaiman

I rather liked this book. It played on well known ideas about ghosts and the afterlife. Of those who are not fully alive or dead. A Vampire (although never said explicitly) a Werewolf and a Mummy.
Haunting and walking through walls, dream manipulation.

The man Jack was a very interesting touch and I didn't guess the name reference before it was revealed.

The way the content was handled reminded me of "The Witch's Boy" where you don't find out some main issue until the very end.

Very well written, although intended for younger teens, it's still a good book.

3.8/5
