I finally got around to starting Elizabeth's book. I bought it for her two years ago about the time she informed me she really didn't like reading anymore. Now I know that is not true, but for right then I wasn't arguing. And I know it is a cool book. The book got borrowed for awhile and then made its way back home.
The book is written for about ten year-olds or so. And I love it. It is about a boy who is raised in a graveyard by the inhabitants of the graveyard. I love how Neil Gaiman's mind works. I discovered him when someone gave me "Anansi Boys". I had looked at that book and decided it really wasn't my genre of books. Ha. Boy was I wrong. That lead me to "American Gods" which I loved. I gave it to a friend of mine and she did not enjoy it as much as me, but we are from different generations. His books are a little dark. And I like them. Think I will keep "The Graveyard Book" and put it in the kids's books. Someday they may enjoy reading it or having it read to them.
