The Graveyard Book

When a young toddler, unknowingly on the run from death, wanders into an old graveyard, he is adopted by the inhabitants of the tombs. Bod, as he is called, grows up in the graveyard and has all sorts of adventures with his friends, both living and dead. This is an enjoyable book with a good mystery and fairly satisfying mystery story. I think the ending could have been wrapped up a little better and I'm still in the dark about a few plot points, but nonetheless this was a nice autumn read. I actually listened to it and while the narration (done by author, Neil Gaiman) is nothing to write home about, the music that frames the beginning and end of each CD is wonderful.
