Recenzii
“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.”
“Like a bite of dark Halloween chocolate, this novel proves rich, bittersweet and very satisfying.”
“The Graveyard Bookfeels like the careful work of an old craftsman.”
“The invention of immortal folk who readers feel they might like to kick back with may be this prolific, tousle-haired, ex-pat British author’s contribution to world literature.”
“It’s hard to think of a more delightful and scary place to spend 300 pages.”
“This brief, dark, savoury adventure deserves to become a modern classic of children’s writing: it has more mystery, excitement and wisdom in a single chapter than all the soap-operatic dilemmas, empty acrobatics and moral dogmatism in those thousands of pages of Potter franchise.”
“Wistful, witty, wise—and creepy. This needs to be read by anyone who is or has ever been a child.”
“Genuinely frightening.”
“The Graveyard Bookis 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.
“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.”
“The Graveyard Bookconfirms what I’ve always thought: Neil Gaiman is a literary genius!”
“The Graveyard Bookis 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.”
