Not quite as good as the first one but still definitely enjoyable. I can really recommend these two graphic novels.
It was nice adaptation but would I recommend it?If you haven't read the book than no, read the book first.If you have read the book preferably not recently and loved it than yes, it new experience.Also while graphic style looks nice, it pales in comparison to Chris Riddell's masterful illustrations at beginning of each chapter of the book.
Ah, so satisfying.
This is the finish of this 2 part graphic novel of Neil Gaiman's Graveyard book. I love the story and I think the ending is brilliant. In this book, Nobody Owens has to face down his families murderer and he finds out why they wanted to kill him in the first place. It is an epic, operatic ending to the tale. Bod has all the powers of the Graveyard at his side. I highly recommend the original novel and if you don't have time for that, then read this graphic novel. It is superbly done. This is a m...
Much like the first half of the illustrated volume, we kept swapping out artists for the different vignettes. This somewhat threw me out of the book because some of the artistic interpretations were so far off from the original concept art that I couldn't keep track of who was who.YouTube | Blog | Instagram | Twitter | Facebook | Snapchat @miranda_reads
such a fun read!
Much like the first volume, this is a decent but uninspired adaptation of a book that I love. I still wish that either there had been just one artist working on the book, or that the artists that did work on it had more varied styles.
Review :)
I love Neil Gaiman so it's not a surprise that this graphic novel worked well for me. This is the second and final volume in the duology, and it's one of the first graphic novels I've read. Bod's story is interesting and engrossing.
I loved the first volume of this book when I read it from the library so I bought the first and second volumes. I'm guessing this is the end for Bod and the family unless they make one where he is out on his own, it's sad :-( In this edition we have Bod going on in years from like 11 to 14 and then a young man going out on his own. We all know Silas as his guardian (the vamp) and he wants to keep Bod safe inside the graveyard as the man that tried to kill him as a baby is still out there in the
My dumb ass grabbed this without realizing it was part two. Now I have to go get part one. Lol. Really like the graphic novel although the cover ruins the climax.
Wow, didn't think you this would be so strong, not after the awesome first volume, but oh no, I was mistaken. the story only gets stronger in this volume as we concluded Bod's journey. Nice work on this. An amazing read. well paced.
P. Craig Russell and a host of artistic collaborators have produced a perfect adaptation of a Neil Gaiman novel.It is amazing that entire two-volume adaptation retained a signature look that did not detract from a seamless reading experience despite a multitude of artist with varying styles. That is a testament to Russell's art director skills and the singular talents of the art team and each individual's ability to mesh their art for a singular house style.As for the story, it is pretty good, i...
This book was read for the BookTubeAThon This book is for4. Finish a Book in One Day The Graveyard Book Volume 2 was so amazing and beautiful. This is one of my favourite books by Neil Gaiman, and I absolutely adore Bod and all the folks in the graveyard. Easily 5 stars
I loved the vol.2 too !
So Volume 2 brings with it a slightly grown-up Bod and the sad end of the story I have read the book but to tell you the truth having read so many books one after the other I kinda forgot about the story so I was glad to be friends with the story once again. Again the theme of every chapter being drawn by a different artist continued but the illustrations continued to be awesome. Neil Gaiman, you are awesome sir and P. Craig Russell you have a wonderful job adapting the book in the 2 parters Gra...
Few books are more illustrated in my imagination when converted to a graphic form. Most of them suffer a loss at the hands of illustrators and hard edits. This story did not, the graphics added to the experience for me adding a feeling that had me dwelling on the pages admiring the details. I want more
There are books that when only a few pages are left at the end, each turn of a page that brings you closer to the end feels like a breaking heart. A long drawn out goodbye. This and its sibling volume are such books.
This second volume is every bit as incredible as the first and left me teary-eyed! Volume 2 focuses on the second half of The Graveyard Book written by Neil Gaiman and follows Nobody Owens as he (once again) escapes the clutches of The Man Jack. This graphic novel contains chapters 6-8 and I have to say that number 7 is a real rollercoaster ride! On several occasions, I felt my heart in my mouth. This time, the stakes are so much higher, as Bod, who is now 14, comes face to face with the man who...
A bittersweet conclusion to an epic adventure of one boy. In this edition, we finally see the fallout between Bod and Mr. Forest as well as the growing affection between Bod and Scarlett. The ending really tugged at my heartstrings. Seeing Bod leave the graveyard, which was his home for so many years, and watching the dead bid him goodbye was a sad, yet inevitable conclusion to his story. And let us not forget his guardian, for a wonderful, caring guardian he was. (He was totally a vampire, wasn...
