The Graveyard Book.
In The Graveyard Book, Neil Gaiman has created a charming allegory of childhood. Although the book opens with a scary scene - a family is stabbed to death by "a man named Jack" - the story quickly moves into more child-friendly storytelling.

In The Graveyard Book, Neil Gaiman has created a charming allegory of childhood. Although the book opens with a scary scene - a family is stabbed to death by "a man named Jack" - the story quickly moves into more child-friendly storytelling. The sole survivor of the attack - an 18-month-old baby - escapes his crib and his house, and toddles to a nearby graveyard. Quickly recognizing that the baby is orphaned, the graveyards ghostly residents adopt him, name him Nobody ("Bod"), and allow him to live in their tomb. Taking inspiration from Kiplings The Jungle Book, Gaiman describes how the toddler navigates among the headstones, asking a lot of questions and picking up the tricks of the living and the dead. In serial-like episodes, the story follows Bods progress as he grows from baby to teen, learning lifes lessons amid a cadre of the long-dead, ghouls, witches, intermittent human interlopers. A pallid, nocturnal guardian named Silas ensures that Bod receives food, books, and anything else he might need from the human world. Whenever the boy strays from his usual play among the headstones, he finds new dangers, learns his limitations and strengths, and acquires the skills he needs to survive within the confines of the graveyard and in wider world beyond.

The Graveyard Book.
Однажды на распродаже я наткнулась на данную книгу и, прочитав аннотацию, тут же заинтересовалась ею. Её автор, Нил Гейман, автор довольно известный, но с его творчеством я ранее знакома не была. Решила это исправить. Кстати, издание обошлось мне всего в 400 рублей на момент покупки (очень выгодно с учётом того, что оно иностранное). Книга оформлено просто прекрасно. Иллюстрации Криса Ридделла напомнили мне мультфильмы Тима Бёртона. Сама история очень трогательная и грустная, а вместе с тем безумно интересная. Учить английский, читая эту книгу, одно удовольствие! Советую.

сначала я хотела писать отзыв на английском, ведь книга в оригинале, но эта книга вызвала у меня столько разных чувств, что хочется написать на русском. Во первых, это определённо одна из лучших книг, что я читала. Сама история очень интересная, герои притягивают к себе. Когда я дочитала книгу, мне показалось, что до этой книги я не читала ничего… пустота, грусть. Во вторых, язык написания, обязательно читать в оригинале!!! Очень интересно) красиво написано) не очень сложно
господи, я правда безумно рекомендую эту книгу, это masterpiece 💔
