The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman

I love Neil Gaiman. I think he has an amazing imagination and reading his books make me feel like a girl reading fairytales. Only these are much more developed and interesting. The Graveyard Book is a fairytale using ghosts instead of fairies. It was exciting and kept you wanting more. Bod is a good leading character, and he guides you through the story as if you are the boyliving in the graveyard. The only complaint I have is with the weakly shaped reason he was orphaned in the first place. It seemed a bit forced and unexciting.
