The Graveyard Book Graphic Novel, Volume 1 by P. Craig Russell, Neil Gaiman
3.0
I had high expectations for The Graveyard Book, Volume 1. After all, Neil Gaiman is a master storyteller. Unfortunately, I found it to be quite boring at times.
The story follows Nobody Owens (Bod), a boy who is raised by ghosts in a graveyard after his family is killed. He is taken in by the ghosts and they teach him lessons about life, death and morality. Despite the interesting premise, the plot moves at a slow pace and I found myself becoming easily distracted.
The art style is quite basic, but I enjoyed the monochromatic palette and the characters have an endearing quality. It does a good job of conveying the emotions of the characters and the overall atmosphere of the graveyard.
Overall, The Graveyard Book, Volume 1 is a decent graphic novel with some interesting ideas, but it can be slow-paced and dull. If you're looking for an entertaining read, you may want to look elsewhere.
