The Graveyard Book, by Neil Gaiman, was absolutely wonderful! I didn't realize it at first, but it's actually a young adults/kids book. Of course that didn't stop me, a good book is a good book regardless of what age group it was written for.
This book tells the story of Nobody Owens, a kid whose parents were murdered and the mad who murdered them chased him into a graveyard. The inhabitants of the graveyard protected him from the murderer and ended up raising Nobody in the graveyard. It's a dark but inspiring book full of comedy and suspense.
Once again, Neil Gaiman has surprised me with a book that I wouldn't have thought would hold my attention.
