"The Graveyard Book"

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.
