All you need to know is this: Bod grows up in a graveyard, raised by ghosts and other fantastical creatures, unable to leave lest he fall prey to the man/men who killed his family. That should be enough to make ANYONE read the book. He’s given the Freedom of the Graveyard, which gives the mortal boy the ability to Fade, Haunt, Dreamwalk, and other cool shit that almost makes you wish you could somehow get in good with the local dead peeps.
Only problem I had with it: the ending. Kind of just….ends. There’s a little resolution, and then “Ok, kid. Good job. On your way, then.” Gaiman leaves it open for sequels, if he so chooses, but I’d have liked a stronger ending, anyway.
