The Inhabitants of the
Graveyard
The
story
takes
place
In
the
graveyard.
At the beginning of the story, The
Man Jack, sneaks into Bod’s house
when he is just a baby. The Man
Jack has evil intents, but Bod
manages to escape. He crawls down
the road into the village graveyard,
and is cared for by a ghostly couple
who are happy to finally have child.
As Bod grows up in the safety of
the graveyard, he soon discovers
that The Man Jack has not given up
on his evil intents.
My comments
Neil Gaiman was successful at
maintaining the tension and
suspense that was introduced at
the beginning of the story.
Throughout my reading, I wondered
what The Man Jack would do next,
and how Bod would successfully rid
himself of this evil danger. I would
highly recommend this book to
anyone who loves mystery, thrills,
and suspense!!!!
