The Graveyard Book <3

I just finished The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman, and I have to say, amazing. Really great. Especially the descriptiveness and the vocabulary was vivid and almost like magic. I am really a big fan of words, and reading this book was like eating candy to me. That's all I can compare it too. It was full of those sentences that just make you feel absolutely fuzzy and warm, but not in a fuzzy and warm way, in a graceful, cool, elegant way.

The story line was something of pure epic-ness. Somehow Neil Gaiman managed to fit sixteen years of pure greatness and wonder into three hundred and three pages, and in the end, all of the seemingly meaningless, sweet little bits seemed to be more than that in the end, and it all ended up perfectly imperfect.

I am in love with this book for its pure elegance.
