You know how fantasy worlds work? Most of the time, when there is a fictional magical world, you picture fairies and kings and knights and pixies and weird creatures and wizards. All that sort of magical stuff. But what I really loved about The Graveyard book was how the world building takes place in a simple town graveyard, where all the magic happens. There are tunnels and underground passages in tombs. Neil Gaiman really outdid himself in creating something so unique. This is a book about a boy named Nobody Owens who is taken up by a long-dead couple in a graveyard. Each chapter is like a short story on its own and center on Nobody Owens, or Bod as he is most commonly referred to, growing up.
Despite the unique world building, there were many parts in the story that felt dry and sort of very slow-paced. If I compare it to Coraline, it wasn't unputdownable. Some of the stories were very predictable and the climax wasn't as endearing as I thought it would be. Overall, it was a fairly good book, but not exceptional.
