My Review:

Saw this on the shelf at the local library and just picked it up. It looked like the perfect little read for in between and the change of weather.

This is an adaptation by P. Craig Russell of Neil Gaiman’s award winning novel ‘The Graveyard Book’. It contains chapter one through the interlude. Volume two includes chapter six through the end.

Though the concept seemed a bit strange at first, I enjoyed Nobody Owens character and his little adventures around the graveyard. His primary care taker Silas is really one of the reasons I picked this graphic novel up. He appears to resemble Dracula in many ways and I am still trying to figure out his role, abilities and secrets.

The read was entertaining and peaked my interest to pick up volume two as well as the original novel. As this one ended on a cliffhanger, I am sure it won’t disappoint.
