Eigentlich ein Jugendbuch, aber deswegen nicht weniger wundervoll.
I've read this book so many times! Its about a boy called Nobody Owens, and his story as he finds his family's murderer while being brought up by ghosts.

Reviews
David Bremner reviewed The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
just what I needed
5 stars
I forgot how much I liked this book. Gaiman claims it is inspired by the Jungle Book, but to me it felt more like Kidnapped, but improved.
The most remarkable thing (other than me sitting down and reading a book on paper for once), was the complete lack of cynicism. That is not a sure thing with Gaiman.
