5. The Graveyard Book - Neil Gaiman

Excellent YA book from Neil Gaiman. The story of Nobody Owens who grows up in a graveyard under the care of the ghosts there. Couldn't put it down :)

Have you listened to him read it? It is brilliant, especially the bit where he closed the book at the end of the chapter that ends in the middle of the climax, and someone in the audience shouted, "No!"

Nope, haven't heard them. Are those the recordings they made during the book signing/reading tour?

Yes, I believe so. They're the ones he has the videos of in his blog.

Yep TGB was very cool. I think it outdid Coraline, though maybe that's because of my Y chromosome. If you can't wait for NG's next installment, which he has implied will happen, you can check out my fanfic installment/letterbox.

It lacks and ending, that is, until you find the letterbox.
