This was wonderful! Neil Gaiman is brilliant. All the clever details had me smiling and some of the puns had me laughing out loud. I could clearly picture every scene and lost myself in this amazing fantasy. I was so entirely transported to another world that after a reading session I would be surprised to find myself sitting in my brightly lighted living room with my apple-cinnamon candles scenting the air. I expected darkness, think tendrils of fog and the musty scent of old dust and dirt. I wanted to have the freedom of the Graveyard! I haven't had this much fun reading a book in a very long time. I thoroughly enjoyed this and recommend it to all ages.
