Un libro interesante en su planteamineto, pero un poco pobre en su recorrido. Podría evolucionar de manera más madura y llegar a tratar grandes cuestiones. Ahora bien, reconozco que quizás no he afrontado su lectura de manera adecuada, desde el punto de vista un poco más juvenil. ( )
This is fine work, from beginning to end, and the best bedtime story read-aloud material I've encountered in a long time. Can't wait until my daughter's old enough to read this to.
While “The Graveyard Book” will entertain people of all ages, it’s especially a tale for children. Gaiman’s remarkable cemetery is a place that children more than anyone would want to visit. They would certainly want to look for Silas in his chapel, maybe climb down (if they were as brave as Bod) to the oldest burial chamber, or (if they were as reckless) search for the ghoul gate. Children will appreciate Bod’s occasional mistakes and bad manners, and relish his good acts and eventual great ones. The story’s language and humor are sophisticated, but Gaiman respects his readers and trusts them to understand.
