... Hunger Games, and are real page-turners - I'm thinking I might try reading one of those next year perhaps. I agree that The Graveyard Book is good, and I thought of reading it this year, but I wonder if it might be a bit slow as a class readaloud. I felt it dragged a bit in the middle few ...

#204: The copy of The Graveyard Book that I read last year had the illustrations by Dave McKean. I like the cover of the hardback edition that I read better than the one mentioned in your first paragraph, Kerry, so I am in agreement with you there! Thanks for the link to the blog. I will ...

#57 The Graveyard Book Don't let 'em fool ya... it is a children's book, not YA, and certainly not "mature" enough for an adult reader who normally reads fiction that has sex and violence and decent kick-butt action.

Finished The Graveyard Book. Cute. Lighter read than I was expecting.

... follow it up with another dystopian story, The Other Side of the Island might work. For a change of pace, you could do The Graveyard Book -- since it's a fairly episodic plot, I think it would make a good read-aloud. If you wanted to do realistic, how about The Schwa Was Here?

I was really disappointed with The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman, because everyone talked about it like it was the greatest book ever written and then when I read it, it was stupendously, incredibly, unbelievably boring. You'd think Gaiman of all people could make a coming-of-age story ...

The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman great read, excellent narration by the author. enjoyed it in august or thereabouts.

... possible way I might add this is either to select a copy which is not, in fact, the edition I own (in this case the book is The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman, I have the First American Edition long before his Newberry Award - the only copy that shows a cover from Amazon is a Large Print ...

I seem to have stuck to the Brits and Yanks for this theme. First I read The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman, then I read The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins, and now I'm into Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and The Collected Works of Edgar Allan Poe. I really loved both The Gr ...

... quite a fun read, fairly light and funny in places. Or for a YA slant you could look into Neil Gamain, I recently read The Graveyard Book which I found quite entertaining, Coraline is rather popular at the moment too. I also agree with #3 about the Hunger Games series, I found them ...

I picked up The Graveyard Book after reading your recommendation, and I thought it was very sweet. Thanks!

Hi Callen I enjoyed The Graveyard Book, the plot kept me interested enough to keep reading but It wasn't one of those books that I just couldn't put down. It jumps about in some places because the story is covering about 14 years of the boys life, and obviously the book is a stand alone title, ...

I hope everybody likes The Graveyard Book. I liked both it and Coraline, so on my wishlist are some of the more adult Neil Gaiman novels, see if I like them too... Today I finished #58, 13 things that don't make sense by Michael Brooks. The book is about 13 things science cannot ...

Hi fairywings - and welcome! What did you think of The Graveyard Book? It's been on my TBR list for awhile, but never seems to make it to the top. I really liked Coraline, but haven't read any Gaiman since.

I read The Graveyard Book last year because my sons have been pestering me to try a Neil Gaiman book for years. They've read them all. I, too, enjoyed it and plan to try one of his "adult" books next year -- probably Neverwhere because the son who lives in the same town we do can lend it to ...

88. The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman and I gave up on that 'secrets of Diskworld' book. I don't usually give up like this, but this book is really, truely, stomachturningly horrid.

In fiction, A Countess Below Stairs by Eva Ibbotson. In juvenile fantasy, The Dragon of Trelian. I loved The Graveyard Book, too. Looking at what I've read so far this year, I'm seeing a lot of solid 4 and 5 star picks. And, due to this thread, I have placed a hold on the Guernsey book ...

Hello All! Here are my votes: The Graveyard Book, Catching Fire or Luna as well. I suppose the start date would be next week some time, right? Will we be discussing throughout the book again, or wait until the end? I've also seen group reads discuss a few chapters at a time. I'm ...

Still working on The Graveyard Book, but I'm on a Prince of Persia kick, so that's cutting into my reading. .

Neil Gaiman is great fun; Neverwhere is my favorite. You might like The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and The Graveyard Book by Gaiman, two of the best books in the past year that also are escapist page turners.

... like the series. by the time I got to Royal Blood the latest installment, I was like "what is the point?" I'm reading The Graveyard book, and just finished Revelations from the Blue Bloods series. I was surprised to actually enjoy it. This was becoming another series that I follow just ...

I loved Guernsey and The Graveyard Book, but the one I was most excited to read was The Last Olympian. I also loved John Adams.

Acacia, very similar to G.R.R. Martin (hope he's not as slow with the sequels), closely followed by The Graveyard Book

... wonderful story, I've listened to it twice now and know I'll be listening to it lots more. I've really got to get The Graveyard Book, it just sounds too good to wait any longer, and I enjoyed Coraline tremendously.

How did I forget The Graveyard Book - Great read

>Mrs. Lee: The Graveyard Book was great. I went the other direction and gave it to my mother, who is in her 80s! She loved it.

The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. I believe it is a children's classic, one to be giving my grandchildren, if I ever have any. I have a nephew named Jack, not sure I should get it for him... I'll see how his sense of humor develops, he's only one right now, so I have some time to think about it. ...

Depends on how "new". The Hunger Games is both good and popular. Ditto for Graceling and The Graveyard Book. All came out in the last year and are still in hardcover.

The Graveyard Book is great. If you liked Coraline, you'll really enjoy it.

... by Neil Gaiman. I've not read any of his book before but am increadibly glad I did. I can't wait to start on The Graveyard Book sometime in the next few months.

The Devil and Daniel Webster by Benet, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Irving, The Graveyard Book by Gaiman and I agree with Fowles' The Collector. Creepy guy.

I'm doing ok with my reading, all things considered. I've had to replace some books with others, because it is obvious I'm not going to finish some. Otherwise I'm happy with the progress.

#51 Glad you enjoyed The Graveyard Book. I read it earlier this year and like it as well.

I finished The Graveyard Book today and loved it. Now, of course, I get to buy the other Gaiman novels (just as a coincidence I watched Coraline yesterday). I started The Murder of My Aunt by Richard Hull.

65. The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. I feel like I'm the last to read this book and I can see why it's so popular. The story is about Nobody "Bod" Owens, a baby that survived his family's unprovoked massacre. He finds his way into a local graveyard and is adopted by its inhabitants. They ...

I adored Miss Bianca and still have the copy my brother gave me for my tenth birthday. Just finished The Graveyard Book, which I really enjoyed and have just started Crazy '08. It seems promising.

I finished The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman yesterday and started Crazy '08 by Cait Murphy. I liked Graveyard very much. (It won the Newberry a couple of years ago.) And Crazy is off to a great start!

Definitely Coraline! This is still hardcover I think, but he also recently came out with The Graveyard Book which was also wonderful. Do you like thieving adventures? I've been loving Fingersmith. I Am the Messenger was pretty good -- not as amazing as Book Thief, but good. ...

... I can't quite decide whether it was just okay or brilliant. Am going to start The Scarecrow by Connelly and The Graveyard Book on audio by Neil Gaiman next.

I just started The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. And next up--Crazy '08 by Cait Murphy.

Just started The Graveyard Book. I've been looking forward to this for a long time.

... has a message in this book and I was surprised by it. I was also happy to hear that he won a Newbery Medal this year for Graveyard Book. I have Anansi Boys on my TBR list, but as good as Gaiman is this book will have to wait for awhile. I read Guns, Germs, and Steel a long time ago ...

26.) The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman 320 pages Gaiman is just a wonderful writer. He manages to walk the line between grim/goth and wonderfully lighthearted. It's a pretty tough line to walk and he does it really well. You would think a book about a living boy who grows up in a graveyard ...

... looking forward to the rest of the books. Ugh...I have to fess up to the library today about what happened to The Graveyard Book.....

Finished The Graveyard Book yesterday, finishing In the Heart of the Sea for bookclub on Tuesday and about 1/4 of the way through The Information which is on my 1000 Novels list.

I read The Graveyard Book earlier this year too, and like you, I loved it! I would like to know what happened to Bod after the story ended. And I agree with Stasia and Linda (good company, for sure) - The Forest in the Hallway is going on my TBR list!

Graceling and Hunger Games are definitely my 2 favorites books of 2008. Graveyard Book, not so much. I did get my hands on the Fire ARC and that is so far my favorite book of 2009. Totally different from Graceling, totally different characters, different world but still cool in that way ...

Just finished the Graveyard Book today and loaned it to a friend. Still in the middle of Terrier. Will probably finish that before starting Anathem. At least if I'm patient.

the Graveyard Book is a retelling/re-imagining of the Jungle Book, with the appropriate macabre Gaiman twist of course.

Just bought the copy of the Graveyard Book I borrowed from bookswim.com. Its a Gaiman, so I knew I was going to buy it when I requested it, just thought I'd wait till now since I didn't technically own it yet. :D

31 the Graveyard Book Gaiman strikes again. Fair warning to parents: THIS IS NOT A BOOK FOR YOUNG CHILDREN. Gaiman is dark, disturbing, and masterful. This book made me want two things: a copy of the Jungle Book, and a sequel.

I'm jumping back and forth between a graveyard somewhere in England in the Graveyard Book, and the kingdom of Tortall in Terrier.

I enjoyed The Graveyard Book as well, and I'm reading The Jungle Book at work during my lunch break. It's a perfect lunch time read since it's basically a bunch of short stories. To tell you the truth, though, I really don't see that it's much like The Graveyard Book, but maybe I'm missing ...

53. The Graveyard Book

#69: I have it on hold at the library. I hope whoever has it now is a quick reader ;) 53. The Graveyard Book I enjoyed very much this book but the ending was rather melancholy and left me with several questions. I will have to read The Jungle Book now for bit of comparison.

May 11th, Reading: The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman - almost done and loving it! Infected by Scott Sigler - almost done and not feeling the love...maybe it will redeem itself in the last couple of chapters The Forest in the Hallway by Gordon Smith - a few chapters in and I'm liking ...

Just got the Gnostic Mystery in the mail for the ER program. Also got the Graveyard Book and Anathem through bookswim. Almost positive I'm keeping Graveyard, might keep Anathem.

You might like The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. It's fantasy/mystery/adventure and very well read by the author. It's only about 7 hours though I think.

26. The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman I really enjoyed this book and was kind of sad to have it end. I think that if I had read this book as a kid it would have made me want to go live in a graveyard and make friends with all the ghosts! Am I the only one who wants to know what happens to Nob ...

The Hunger Games was excellent, as was The Graveyard Book. I've read both Wake and Fade and preferred Wake. Wake had more of a compelling story.

You could also try The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. It's different and very good.

May not be the right genres, but The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins, The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman, and Graceling by Kristin Cashore are all topnotch recent YA titles.

I really liked most of the above (The Hunger Games, Graceling, The Graveyard Book), but my favorite new YA finds this year were Wake and Fade by Lisa McMann. I haven't seen a lot of buzz about these, and I can't for the life of me remember where I saw them recced to read them, but I liked ...

The Hunger Games at #1, followed by The Graveyard Book and Graceling.

16. The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman (****) I love books like this--they remind me of why I love to read. Sometimes, as an English teacher trained to do so, I feel too pressured to find hidden meanings, to apply literary theory, to dig for the subtext. And you know what that does? Kills ...

On the other hand, I tend to recommend Anansi Boys, or his collaboration with Terry Pratchett, Good Omens. As well as The Graveyard Book, but in conjunction with The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling. With Jones, there is SUCH a variety. You can finish the Howl cycle with Castle in ...

Thanks for the welcome. The latest book that I've read is 16. The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. What a great book! I loved it; it was a nice break from the angst I find in YA lit. I'm so glad it received the Newbery this year. Now, I want to read Kipling's Jungle Book.

... Ex by Lisa Fiedler. (I loved this story) and The Foretelling by Alice Hoffman. In the pile for this week are The Graveyard Book by Niel Gaiman and House of Many Ways by Diana Wynne Jones

I am in a London Graveyard with a boy named Bod, his ghost parents, a gardian and a witch. (The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman)

9: The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaimen

141: I saw that too. I love Colbert's interviews and the banter within :) I also just finished The Graveyard Book and really liked it. I also recently read the Looking Glass Wars by Frank Beddor, a twist on Alice in Wonderland. I'm hoping to start it's sequel Seeing Redd soon.

I know a lot of us have recently read Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book. He was interviewed on the Colbert Show last night. Here's the link to the interview: http://tinyurl.com/c99rvz

though not many would agree with me - Moby Dick by Herman Melville. And also The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman.

I loved The Graveyard Book. I think it's my favorite this year.

... I love Christopher Moore and I was a theatre major as an undergraduate, so this was a spot-on book for me. Book #31 - The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman Another excellent story by Neil Gaiman. I found it more engaging than Coraline.

58. The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. Alot of 75ers have recommended this one, and I think they are all right. Very good book.

>59 I recently gave up on The Graveyard Book even though I loved American Gods and Neil Gaiman is one of my favorite authors. The characters in American Gods are really not worthy of caring for, but the overall story makes up for it I think.

#133: Sibylle.Night Enjoy!! I really loved The Graveyard Book, had a lot of fun reading it. Now one of my favorite Gaiman books!

Nice reviews, Carolyn. I read The Graveyard Book and enjoyed it. I've been hearing a lot of good things about E.L. Konigsburg lately and will be adding this one to the TBR pile. I haven't seen your reaction to Tigana yet, so I assume you had to set it aside for awhile. To bad that ...

18) The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman Wow. I can see why this won the Newberry.

... at any age, but I read them over and over again as a child (along with Kim and Puck of Pook's Hill). The format of The Graveyard Book is modeled explicitly upon Kipling's format of separate but connected episode throughout Mowgli's years in the jungle, and chapters 3 and 4, ...

>5, Yes, I remember that "scrotum" controversy now... I don't even think The Graveyard Book is that scary, or much scarier than a lot of other children's books, not even all newer ones. It has ghosts and goblins and all, but it's really more charming than anything else, which sounds so weird when ...

I also just finished The Graveyard Book, and I think it would usually just be classified as YA, but it does have elements of fantasy in it. Aside from the ghosts, there is also a part in the book where an entirely new world is described, with made-up creatures (night-gaunts and ghouls) ...

... reading (excluding the classics like H.G. Wells and Tolkien, etc.) so I may use the terms incorrectly. How would you label The Graveyard Book if it isn't fantasy?

How about Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book?: "There was a hand in the darkness, and it held a knife. The knife had a handle of polished black bone, and a blade finer and sharper than any razor. If it sliced you, you might not even know you had been cut, not immediately."

Watch/listen to Neil Gaiman read The Graveyard Book here. Wow, he's a really good reader!

I read The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman--finished last night. I do recommend it. I'll post a review on my 75 thread later this week.

I've just finished The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman (what a wonderful, much different series it would've been if he had written the Harry Potter books.) Have begun Outcasts United: A Refugee Soccer Team, an American Town by Warren St. John.

Definitely The Graveyard Book. 8. Hard Love--Wasn't sure at first, but loved it by the end. Very well written.

Which did you like better, Coraline or The Graveyard Book? --BJ

... guys! Also, like Zoe, I've never read The Jungle Book and was wondering whether I should read that before my copy of The Graveyard Book arrives. But it's already en route to me from The Book Depository, so I doubt I was going to be able to hold off on reading it anyway! I can't wait!

Finished Gaiman's The Graveyard Book. I enjoyed it. Neil is a pretty competent writer and usually weaves a fairly good tale.

You know what? I might go ahead and read The Graveyard Book first, to get the full impact, and then go back and read The Jungle Book afterwards. Just to appreciate how Gaiman adapted it fully. And to enjoy another true classic. I think that the similarities may have prevented me from ...

I recorded and reviewed The Graveyard Book in message 90, but I was commenting on lunacat's thread where she had just finished it today, and thought I'd crosspost my comments here. Neil Gaiman based The Graveyard Book on Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Books in great part. He says so ...

Hi lunacat, I've got The Graveyard Book ordered and on the way, so I'm glad to know you, too, think it's a good book. I've heard so much about it that I'm eager to hear what all the fuss is about.

... there reading the first chapter, going, "Why does this seem so familiar...?" I finally figured it out though. 11. The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman Most definitely worth a read.

I read Neverwhere and thought it was mediocre, and I thought The Graveyard Book was little better than mediocre, but I think I'll give Gaiman one more try because so many people seem to think he is the bomb.

... in for sageboy with Gaiman recommendations. I, too, definitely recommend Anansi Boys and Good Omens; if you enjoyed The Graveyard Book, I think you'll like these! Also, I read Stardust a month or so ago, and I loved it. It was a bit darker than The Graveyard Book, but to me, it had ...

I didn't make it to 50 pages yet on The Graveyard Book and so was underwhelmed I didn't even feel like trying further... we'll see.

... even, tho I love it. I would suggest, before you give up on him altogether, maybe trying his recent Newbery Award Winner The Graveyard Book, which was, IMO, fabulous. Also in re to our tastes being slightly different, Mansfield Park is one of my all time favorites!

#217 and #218 - I was also absolutely enchanted by The Graveyard Book and #218, I second msf59 - get going on those Atkinson books - they are a treat as well. I have the first two in the series in my reread pile.

@ #11: I don't really find it too odd that adults would be reading The Graveyard Book or Little Brother, really. Both authors are very, very popular with adults. There are people (myself included) who would read anything Neil Gaiman ever wrote, up to and including grocery lists ...

I started Farewell Summer last night, and now a friend has loaned me a copy of The Graveyard Book, which I've been dying to read. I wish I could read them both simultaneously! I also want to finish up The Hemingses of Monticello which I've been reading since the middle of last month. Then ...

I'm going to have to throw in my two cents on The Graveyard Book as well. I absolutely loved it. It only took me one day to read, but I was involved with the story the entire time.

I finished The Graveyard Book today and I loved it! Can we do a discussion thread, or does it have to be a certain month for the group read? I am going to reread The Book Thief next for the official group read.

I read The Graveyard Book last night and enjoyed it thoroughly. I don't know what I'm going to start next, but I do have plenty of stuff to read... maybe it's time to resurrect the Share Your TBR Pile thread...

I have not read Animal Dreams, But I have read The Graveyard Book.

I read The Possibilities of Sainthood a few days ago, and finished The Graveyard Book this morning. I was slightly disappointed by the former -- not because it wasn't good, but because it had been strongly recommended to me, and I didn't find anything outstanding about it. I did, on the other ...

9. The Graveyard Book, Neil Gaiman Heartbreaking, and so, so good. I thought it was going to be a typical fairytale-rewrite type that're pretty popular now, but when I recognized the Jungle Book theme and actually got into it, I adored it. Best part: Danse Macabre!

Finished The Graveyard Book over the weekend, this year's Newbery Medal winner.

It was last month, but I read The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman and really enjoyed it. I plan on reading Stardust sometime in the near future. For this month I think that I am finally going to start The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle by Avi.

I already said this somewhere else, but I'm excited about it! I've started The Graveyard Book! :D My friend got it for me for my birthday. At the rate I'm going, I'll have it finished by tomorrow. (It would be tonight if I didn't have to get up at 5 AM tomorrow.)

Having a bit of a Neil Gaiman spell at the moment... The Graveyard Book and Coraline over the weekend (not sure the former counts as fantasy, but anyway), and now onto American Gods. Edit for touchstone

I may have missed this on another thread, but The Graveyard Book won the Newbery!

#22: I enjoyed The Graveyard Book, too. I completely agree about Silas. Looks like you have some wonderful goals for the rest of the year!

I've started The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. It's a YA book that I probably wouldn't have considering reading except that I heard the author talking about it on NPR and it seemed interesting (and it is!). Oh and I'm way past YA age! ;)
