Graveyard Book-Review and Recommendation

I would recommend the graveyard book to anyone who likes a scary fantasy book with very interesting characters that instantly hooks you into the book.The first chapter of the book is excellent and very good describing the mood and the theme of the book.The graveyard book is a very dense book but if you really stop and ask yourself questions you will understand the book better.

Graveyard Book Review and Recommendation

The graveyard book would be a good book for you if you like fantasy and horror. It takes place in a graveyard in England. There is a person trying to kill the main character Nobody Owens {Bod}. He has a family but they are killed by the killer named the Man Jack. This is how the book begins. Afterward, people in an abanded graveyard adopt him. The people in the graveyard have been dead for almost 500 years. He has lots of adventures in the graveyard. He even goes outside the graveyard which is not safe for him. I think the graveyard book is a very good book because the book got very scary. If you like scary books this would be a good book for you hope you like the book. by: fly to cheese

Graveyard Book Review and Recommendation

The graveyard book WAS AWESOME!! I would totally read this book with a partner. The reason I would read this with a partner is because is because some of the events and language (British words) are hard to understand, so it helps to discuss it with someone else. This book was about a baby who is being hunted by a man named THE MAN JACK! The baby (Bod is his name) went into a graveyard and got adopted by GHOSTS and got the freedom of the graveyard.The freedom of the graveyard means you can get ghost POWERS! As Bod grows up in the graveyard the man jack FAILS to KILL him!
