Fantastic! 
 This book starts on a grizzly note. A whole family is murdered, or almost. Three of four are stabbed with a knife by a mysterious man Jack. The youngest, a little mischievous toddler, may or may not escape. And may or may not grow up in a graveyard. 
 Of all the places to be raised. A graveyard! This book was, at times, dark and morbid, but it was also absolutely hilarious, and so endearing. Neil Gaiman has amazed me yet again. I think it's time to read his Stardust. 
 Oh, and you. Go read this book. And while you're at it, Coraline as well.
