Book Recommendation: The Graveyard Book

               Instead of recommending a book to everyone, I would not recommend The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman to people as I would give it a 4/10. In the book, Bod is a human child being raised by dead ghosts. His parents were murdered when he was just an infant, so he is taken in by Silas, a ghost who lives in a cemetery across the street from Bod's house. Jack, the murderer of Bod's parents, is set out to kill Bod as he feels it is his mission to finish the family name by killing the last of the family, which happens to be Bod. Bod is very curious and is always meeting new human friends, but he can't leave the graveyard on any occasion. In the climax of the book, Bod's curiosity gets the best of him and he goes into the outside world only to find Jack. If this book sounds interesting to you, you will have to find out for yourself. I did not like this book because it had a dull mood throughout the story and there was barely any action throughout the first half of the book. However, this book did win the Newbery Medal, so if you are looking for an award winning book, this is an option.
