Sadly, i still haven't finished reading this book but i still want to write a few things about how i think about Neil Gaiman and his graveyard book.
Graveyard book is a children's book (that's what i've heard anyway) but i think adults would enjoy it even more than kids. It's about a kid's days who lives in an old graveyard and being raised by the dead folk of the graveyard. It almost feels like the dark version of Jungle book. Again, like other Gaiman's works there is a separation between two worlds. This time it's between the living city and the graveyard at the top of the hill. I really like the way that how Gaiman separates two worlds and most of the time points out this world to us and shows how mundane, how boring it is actually. The same feeling was strong in Coraline too. Both books' main characters are little kids and it's very enjoyable to look at things from their perspective.
The first thing i read from Gaiman was Sandman's first volume and to be honest, i really did not like it (it was years ago) but now i am planning to read some Sandman. American Gods is still waiting for to be read too.
