Quill Tree Books The Graveyard Volume 2

I loved this follow up to the first graphic novel of The Graveyard Book: Volume 1. It continues to provide an excellent adaptation of Neil Gaiman's original novel. It is well drawn. The colourist has the ability to draw events occuring at night without making the pictures too dark and inaccessible. And, of course, story is intelligent and challenging and a pleasure to read.

Bought for my book loving 10 year old nephew for christmas so he hasnt received it yet.I chose this book (along with volume 1) as I love the different art styles in each chapter.Whilst I haven't read this story before I have read Neil Gaiman's Coraline and thoroughly enjoyed it. His stories are creepy and spooky but accessible to the younger reader.

Is this really a children's book. In which case NG your really treating the children to a first class read I'm no child and this book is great But there I've always liked it I good good book Mr Gaiman🙂

Neil Gaiman is for my money one of the most inventive writers of fantasy that we have. He has ways of making the extraordinary seem common place and the ordinary seem magical. Nobody Owens is growing up a bittersweet process for our young protagonist.

This is rather fun I do have to say. Neil Gaiman's Graveyard book is right at the top of my favourites list anyway and to have it all fully - and imaginatively - illustrated is a bit special!
