This is another amazing book by Neil Gaiman. His writing is amazing and descriptive, and his use of language is brilliant! I find myself reading this book over and over!
I love Neil Gaiman's books! They are so eerie and wonderful! Unfortunately, i haven't had the chance to read this book yet, but i hope i will very soon!!
My favorite part in this book is when the boy went in to the graveyard and the man was after him but he was not gone.This book was about a boy who went into a graveyard and a man was after him and the ghosts were rasing the little boy until he was grown up.
My dad loves comic books and one of his favorite comic book authors is Neil Gaiman, and one day I was in my school library and I saw this book and it looked good so I picked it up and on the top it said Neil Gaiman so now I am reading it
This book was a wonderful book. The main character was very interesting, and his circumstances were especially interesting. There was a lot to take away from this book.

I thought this book was very interesting. This book was a good book to keep me busy. To me I would sugest this book to my friends but some people start to read it and don't like it. I think that problem can be fixed by people reading it for longer because I agree that it is not that interesting at the begining. With that being said I do think this is a good book and highly recommend it.
This book is os good and the author does a really good job of making you have chills up your spine at the beginning. Its really creepy. the author makes everything seem slowmotion! I definitley reccomend it!
I really like this book so far because I like how the author writes at the beginning of the book, almost in slow motion. He describes every detail so well. At the beginning he gives you chills.The plot is really good and I wonder how he came up wirh the idea! You should definitely read it!
This book is simply horrifying in the first few pages a man steps in and kills he whole family, the dad on the bed the mom on the ground and the older child in his room but one child slips out the door and im at that part now i give this book 5 stars.
