I got this as a gift...and then it was a real wrench to give up: I'll have to buy one for me. The story follows the general idea of Kipling's Jungle Book, with the protagonist being a very-recently orphaned boy taken in and raised by the inhabitants of a graveyard, along with a transient-and-friendly vampire. This graphic novel cleaves closely to the book; any written description left out is amply filled in by the artwork--which is lavish and lovely and affecting.
An unusual feature of this graphic novel is that the chapters are drawn by a variety of artists. This can be a bit jarring at times, as the faces and expressions of the characters change noticeably from one chapter to the next. Nevertheless, the overall theme and feel of the book is maintained throughout.

I really enjoyed reading this. We follow Bod, short for Nobody Owens as he grows up in the graveyard under the care of the supernatural. The writing brings you in to the story and the characters felt real as well as the detail to scenery. The ending pulled at my heartstrings. I also really enjoyed this edition with the illustrations and the extras in the back of the book. A definite must read.

Too small of a box resulted in damaged cover

The book is beautiful however, the cover was bent up from the box that it was shoved into. It’s really quite disappointing.
