THE GRAVEYARD BOOK By Neil Gaiman

THE GRAVEYARD BOOK by Niel Gaiman Review (4 out of 5 Stars) The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman Release Date: September 30, 2008 Publisher: HarperCollins Pages:320 Buy on Amazon This week I read the highly acclaimed Newberry award-winning, The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman.

All that being said, it’s an excellent book. Rowling has the great ability to open up one’s imagination and create worlds where anything is possible. So, it only made [...]

Most fans of the series read the book a few years ago, so read on for a quick refresher.
