The story was very good and my son really enjoyed. I was disappointed though, because the book arrived with two torn pages and I purchased it BRAND NEW! Had I known that the book would arrive with torn pages, I would have rather bought a used book!

I do not understand the interest in this book. The first page creeped me out. A children’s AWARD winning book based on a mass murder of a family. We are dragging our kids through darker and creepier places all the time. Can we stop? Can we stop aplauding it by handing out awards? I read, then skimmed, then gave up. I can think of waaaay better books.

I cannot believe this book was chosen as the winner by Caldecott this year. Why do we need to subject our children to such hideous scary stuff. Reading the daily paper is scary enough–why recommend a book like this. I bought the book out of interest in kid literature and I think it is way off the beaten path of other prize winners. I would not recommend it for any of my child acquaintances nor would I bother to teach it as a teacher. Thank goodness I am retired. Sheila School

I am amazed that this book has won awards — I wonder about the judges who voted for this completely unsuitable book. The book revolves around graveyards, murder, ghosts and a child called Nobody. Being called nobody certainly would not improve self esteem. This is a horrible, highly negative book.

neil gaiman is slowly changing from a great and imaginative author to a horrible author indeed. in this novel,the newest one, theg raveyard book all you have to do is read the first two hcpaters andthe last. really thats all you need to read to understand the story. everything in the middle is just garbage,filler and a lot of filler.
