When you first saw the book, what did you think it was going to be like?
When I first picked the book up I thought it would be quite scary by the title and the picture of Bod and Silas in the graveyard. Also when I went to Waterstones to buy it, the cashier at the desk told me that I would really enjoy it so that made me want to read it even more, and now I want to read it again!
Was there anything you liked about this book?
Yes, there were quite a few things I really liked such as, when Bod leaves the graveyard and when Scarlett and Bod go though the trouble of the sleer. The reason I enjoyed these bits was because of the description ;it really helped me paint a picture in my head.
Was there anything you disliked?
Yes, I didn’t really like the bit about the dance that only alive people and dead people can dance; it didn’t really excite me much.
Was there anything that puzzled you?
Yes, the thing that really puzzled me was Silas, my dad and I thought that maybe Silas was a vampire because he had no reflection, he lives in the dark and he isn’t dead or alive
Were there any puzzles - any connections that you noticed?
Yes, when I read The Graveyard book I thought that some bits were a bit like Coraline although I have only seen the film and also I thought the beginning was also like Anthony Horowitz’s “Horowitz Horror.”
Which character interested you the most?
I think probably Bod because he is so brave and I would like to be as brave as him
If the author asked you what could be improved in the story, what would you say?
I can’t really think of anything that could be improved. In fact I think it is so perfect that I chose to go to school on world book day as Silas. I have already recommended it to my friends.

ReplyDeleteI checked the post about The Graveyard Book, and it does a nice job highlighting what makes the story so memorable, especially the way Neil Gaiman blends something dark and eerie with a surprisingly warm coming-of-age narrative. The idea of a child growing up in a graveyard, surrounded by ghosts who become a kind of family, is strange on the surface but actually ends up feeling very human once you sit with it. That balance between life, death, and growing up is really what sticks with you after reading it.
