Geschichte
A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a funeral. He is drawn to the farm at the end of the road, where, when he was seven, he encountered a most remarkable girl, Lettie Hempstock. Forty years earlier, a man committed suicide in a stolen car at this farm at the end of the road. Like a fuse on a firework, his death lit a touchpaper. The darkness was unleashed, something scary and thoroughly incomprehensible to a little boy. And Lettie - magical, comforting, wise beyond her years - promised to protect him, no matter what.

Geschichte
Neil Gaiman has long been inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction. Now he turns his attention back to the source, presenting a bravura rendition of the great northern tales. In Norse Mythology, Gaiman fashions primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds; delves into the exploits of the deities, dwarves, and giants; and culminates in Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods and the rebirth of a new time and people.

Meet Greta Helsing, doctor to the undead. After inheriting a highly specialised and highly peculiar medical practice, Dr Helsing spends her days treating London's undead for a host of ills: vocal strain in banshees, arthritis in barrow-wights and entropy in mummies. Although barely making ends meet, this is the quiet, supernatural-adjacent life Greta's dreamed of since childhood. But when a sect of murderous monks emerges, killing human and undead alike, Greta must use her unusual skills to keep her supernatural clients - and the rest of London - safe.

Eine wundervolle Geschichte über das Leben, den Tod und den ganzen Rest. Und das noch vom Meister selbst gelesen! Neil Gaiman spricht die unterschiedlichen englischen Akzente der Figuren so wundervoll, es ist zum Niederknien. Diese Toten leben mehr als viele Lebenden. Rockt!

Fantastisch
Vermutlich bemerkt jeder Erwachsene, der viel liest, irgendwann repetitive Muster, und die sich abnutzende Magie von fantastischen Romanen. Aber immer mal wieder findet sich dann doch wieder eine Geschichte, die einen mit einem wehmütigen und doch warmen Herz und Tränen in den Augen zurück lässt. Das hier ist so eine. Im Englischen vom Autor selbst gelesen ist es zusätzlich eins der best gelesenen Hörbücher in meiner Erinnerung.

Gaiman work is magical
The world Gaiman creates here is dark, but full of colours, and beautiful. It's a world suitable for children as well as 'adults' ;-p .
"The Graveyard Book" is a 'key' to imagination. And Gaiman's voice is the guide there. I was taken back to the time, when my 'Oma' and me went to the graveyard to tend the graves of some of our family. And there I had some adventure only a 5 year-old can have.
But now it is Gaiman and his work that revive those images form the past. Therefore I want to call him a Master. His story is pretty complex and yet is gives enough room for the own imagination and / or childhood experiences. That is the essence for a good read, or in this case, a good audio book!

Lovely Childhood Story in Disguise
This is a lovely and enchanting childhood story, very nicely told. Neil Gaiman found the perfect tone for this absurd, but charming little narrative.
The gruesome and bloody initial event, the murder of a whole family, is quickly abandoned and all the attention is given to the baby left behind. The little toddler, who just learned to make his first steps, escapes the murderer and stumbles into the nearby graveyard, where he finds love and protection.
The little guy is given the name Bod, short for "Nobody" and he grows up among ghosts, a vampire, a witch and a werewolf, who all together take care of him. Regardless of the bizarre setting, the story is just a lovely childhood story with a lot of little pieces of wisdom and insight thrown in. Of course there is also first love and some dramatic adventures, Bod will meet ghouls and find a treasure, but nothing of that will really raise your blood pressure. Finally it will come to a confrontation between Bod and Jack, the murderer of his family.
I loved this little fairy tale, it is unusual and highly entertaining. Some of Bod's naïve questions remind me of Exupery's "The Little Prince", somehow the magic in the 2 books is very similar.

Herrlich!
Vorab eine kleine "Rüge", weil sich doch einige Fäden, die im Verlauf der Story "angesponnen" werden, nicht wirklich auflösen. Ausserdem ist es zu kurz ;-) ! Das hätte wirklich Potenzial zu einer Serie gehabt! Das wars aber auch schon mit den negativen Aspekten!
Am besten gefällt mir zum Einen, das der Autor (und gleichzeitig Leser) es schafft, durchgängig eine wunderbare, Schaurig-schöne Stimmung zu erzeugen und aufrecht zu erhalten. Zum Anderen sind es die Sprache und die herrlichen Akzente und Ausdrucksweisen, mit denen Gaiman in seinem Vortrag spielt.
Unaufgeregt und trotzdem kurzweilig! Spannend, aber ohne Effekthascherei! Ganz klare Empfehlung!
ps: Man muss des Englischen nicht perfekt mächtig sein, um die Originalversion zu verstehen! Die ist auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen, will man sich nicht der herrlichen Akzente und Ausdrücke der englischen Version berauben!

Wonderful and imaginative. one of a kind
the story is wonderful and creative. masterfully brought to life by the author neil gaiman, who is reading his own book. The setting and premise are quite unique and wonderfully presented. only minor flaw is that the musical intro at the beginnings of chapters sometimes go on too long, drowning out the voice for a few seconds.

eine hübsche spannende Geschichte
Die Geschichte um das Leben von Bod ( Nobody) wird ganz reizend vom Autor selbst gelesen. Oft sollten Autorinnen und Autoren dies besser nicht tun, aber hier ist das ein echter Gewinn. Obwohl Bods Leben sich im Friedhof mit Geistern abspielt, lernt er viel über die Menschlichkeit und Authentizität und Ehrlichkeit und das Erwachsenwerden.
Ich würde dies als hübsches Kinderbuch einordnen und habe es kurzweilig genossen.

Brilliantly narrated by the author
The main character's adventures are endearing and fantastic. The narrative contains just the right mix of colorful descriptions and moving-forward action. The reading by the author is definitely a huge plus. I was divided between this and the dramatized version, now I'm sure I chose well - though the other version must be also eith its merits.
Highly recommend!
