Description
“This is an utterly captivating tale that is cleverly told through an entertaining cast of ghostly characters. There is plenty of darkness, but the novel’s ultimate message is strong and life affirming….this is a rich story with broad appeal. ” (Booklist (starred review) )
The Graveyard Book is everything everyone loves about Neil Gaiman, only multiplied many times over, a novel that showcases his effortless feel for narrative, his flawless instincts for suspense, and above all, his dark, almost silky sense of humor. (Joe Hill, author of Heart–Shaped Box )
“The Graveyard Book manages the remarkable feat of playing delightful jazz riffs on Kipling’s classic Jungle Books. One might call this book a small jewel, but in fact it’s much bigger within than it looks from the outside.” (Peter S. Beagle, author of The Last Unicorn )
“THE GRAVEYARD BOOK, by turns exciting and witty, sinister and tender, shows Gaiman at the top of his form. In this novel of wonder, Neil Gaiman follows in the footsteps of long-ago storytellers, weaving a tale of unforgettable enchantment.” (New York Times Book Review )
“Lucid, evocative prose and dark fairy-tale motifs imbue the story with a dreamlike quality. …this ghost-story-cum-coming-of-age-novel as readable as it is accomplished.” (Horn Book (starred review) )
“Like a bite of dark Halloween chocolate, this novel proves rich, bittersweet and very satisfying.” (Washington Post )
“This is, quite frankly, the best book Neil Gaiman has ever written. How he has managed to combine fascinating, friendly, frightening and fearsome in one fantasy I shall never know, but he has pulled it off magnificently - perfect for Halloween and any other time of the year.” (Diana Wynne Jones, author of The Chronicles of Chrestomanci )
“I wish my younger self could have had the opportunity to read and re-read this wonderful book, and my older self wishes that I had written it.” (Garth Nix, author of The Abhorsen Trilogy )
“Wistful, witty, wise—and creepy. This needs to be read by anyone who is or has ever been a child.” (Kirkus Reviews (starred review) )
“It takes a graveyard to raise a child. My favorite thing about this book was watching Bod grow up in his fine crumbly graveyard with his dead and living friends. The Graveyard Book is another surprising and terrific book from Neil Gaiman.” (Audrey Niffenegger, author of The Time Traveler's Wife )
“After finishing The Graveyard Book, I had only one thought — I hope there’s more. I want to see more of the adventures of Nobody Owens, and there is no higher praise for a book.” (Laurell K. Hamilton, author of the Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter novels )
“The Graveyard Book is endlessly inventive, masterfully told and, like Bod himself, too clever to fit into only one place. This is a book for everyone. You will love it to death.” (Holly Black, co–creator of The Spiderwick Chronicles )

Présentation de l'éditeur
Nobody Owens, known to his friends as Bod, is a normal boy.
He would be completely normal if he didn't live in a sprawling graveyard, being raised and educated by ghosts, with a solitary guardian who belongs to neither the world of the living nor of the dead.
There are dangers and adventures in the graveyard for a boy-an ancient Indigo Man beneath the hill, a gateway to a desert leading to an abandoned city of ghouls, the strange and terrible menace of the Sleer.
But if Bod leaves the graveyard, then he will come under attack from the man Jack—who has already killed Bod's family. . . .
Beloved master storyteller Neil Gaiman returns with a luminous new novel for the audience that embraced his New York Times bestselling modern classic Coraline. Magical, terrifying, and filled with breathtaking adventures, the graveyard book is sure to enthrall readers of all ages.

Le livre de la jungle... dans un cimetière,
Par
Ce commentaire fait référence à cette édition : The Graveyard Book (Relié)
Recréer un Livre de la jungle, il fallait oser... le situer dans un cimetière, c'est encore plus audacieux... mais quelle réussite! L'histoire est simple: un tout petit garçon échappe à un tueur en se réfugiant dans un cimetière. Recueilli par des fantômes et autres créatures crépusculaires, il grandit et, d'incident en aventure, de bêtises bien intentionnées en gaffes monumentales, il apprend à se faire une place dans son monde - en attendant de rencontrer à nouveau le tueur qui n'a jamais laissé tomber ses recherches... Le style est du pur Gaiman, parfois un peu décousu ou léger, mais toujours délicat et rassurant, teinté d'humour, malgré un sujet qui peut être horrifique. Les illustrations sont splendides. Un roman à découvrir!

Au-delà des apparences,
Par
Ce commentaire fait référence à cette édition : The Graveyard Book (Belle reliure)
Pendant qu'un tueur massacre sa famille, un bambin trouve un sanctuaire inattendu dans un vieux cimetière désaffecté. Il y est protégé et élevé par le peuple bigarré qui le hante, né des croyances populaires et dont s'était entiché les romantiques qui l'ont transmis jusqu'à nous, loin du religieux et autre métaphysique.
Placé sous la tutelle d'une figure mystérieuse, seule à franchir son enclos, notre héros apprend la vie avec les morts. A une époque où la mort a remplacé le sexe au registre des tabous, cette lecture mérite le détour. Gaiman n'a pas la verve déglingue du Tim Burton des Noces funèbres, ni l'humour caustique de l'Oscar Wilde du Fantôme des Canterville, mais il excelle dans le conte initiatique décalé. Il sait, de fleurs banales et même fanées, créer un bouquet original et palpitant. Voyage recommandé à tous les enfants (et adultes) curieux et sans préjugés. A ranger parmi les (futurs) classiques.

Très bon livre,
Par
Ce commentaire fait référence à cette édition : The Graveyard Book (Broché)
J'aime beaucoup les livres de Neil Gaiman autant ceux pour adultes que ceux pour enfants. Celui-ci est d'une lecture particulièrement agréable,combinant l'humour et le style graphique typique de Gaiman. Très bien pour les enfants à partir de 10-12 ans et intéressant pour les adultes également. Si vous aimez les histoires de fantômes n'hésitez pas.
