Loading... The Graveyard Book Graphic Novel: Volume 1by Neil Gaiman, Phillip Craig Russell
   No current Talk conversations about this book. I was looking for additional graphic novels that students in middle school would enjoy and trying to expand my classroom library to include more fantasy books. While I am not a big reader of fantasy, especially not horror-based fantasy, but I really enjoyed this story. There are characters and situations that build a tense mood, but it is not gory. The setting is a long-abandoned graveyard, which adds to the general creepy feel, but most of the ghosts of the graveyard are friendly and from far in the past, offering a bit of levity and even a glimpse at some historical events. Some young people may struggle a bit with some of the dialogue, as the old-timey characters use Englishes more commonly used in the United Kingdom far in the past, but the majority of the dialogue is easy to follow and the graphic representations can add context for understanding. This first volume ends in a cliff hanger, which makes perfect sense as the original version was one book. I enjoyed this book so much that I will be picking it up for my classroom library and will likely add the prose version, as well! (  ) merrisam | Jul 25, 2023 |  CW: Graphic novel has image of woman with her throat slit and a shadow image of person who has hung themselves. Sorry but I am just not a fan of graphic novels. I find them very difficult to read as my mind just skips through to all the text and completely bypasses the graphics so then I have no idea what has just happened. I admire those who read these with ease. (  ) Mrs_Tapsell_Bookzone | Feb 14, 2023 | Several different artists. Some depictions closer to my mind's eye than others. A pretty good adaptation. But I generally prefer books to their adaptations. ([b:The Last Unicorn|29127|The Last Unicorn (The Last Unicorn, #1)|Peter S. Beagle|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1358147318s/29127.jpg|902304] being a notable exception) So is the case with this book here. Prefer the book all the way. ( ) QuirkyCat_13 | Jun 20, 2022 | Hugljúf og falleg saga um ungan dreng sem elst upp undir vernd íbúa (framliðinna) í kirkjugarði. Gaiman og Russell eru snillingar. ( ) SkuliSael | Apr 28, 2022 | Really Good. I would recommend the book or audiobook first. (  ) MorbidLibrarian | Sep 18, 2021 | no reviews | add a review
