the graveyard book

System.out.Println("As is with most if not all of Neil Gaiman's works I've read, it is amazing. The characters are really distinct from each other, and the adventures that Bod had gone through during his younger years. Wow. I'd expected the graveyard to be dry, dusty, mostly boring and hardly compelling grounds in which to tell a story, but haha he's done it again. Sometimes it reminds me of the Corpse Bride, as they're obviously more interesting than the people who are alive. 

I think he grew up rather quickly.. I think there could be some more questions to clear up even after the last bit.. Like what is he? and the reason behind his past? How did it tie in altogether? And what is it with this Jack business really? At first I thought it would be nice to know the real intention and the real master of the Sleer, but I suppose it was a good way to sort of kill 2 birds with a stone, with the way it was written. 

And Ms Lupescu is nice too! It would be great to have aunts like her =P Even if she is a sour, weird lady to begin with. I can't believe she gave Bod the nickname of "Nimini"! That is utterly random man. 

The Jack and Silas relationship reminds me of Harry Potter and what's his name... Sirius. Right. It's a good one though, a guardian who is protective and yet knows when to back off and give space to the kid to make his own mistakes (and more importantly learn from them)");
