The Graveyard Book

This was a good, but very average book for me. I see the appeal, and I enjoyed the story overall, more so during the second half because that was when all of the scattered events that happened previously started to make sense.

But some of the magical and whimsical elements seemed quite convenient to me, and the motivations behind the jacks didn't make much sense to me. I get the overall gist, but the reasonings seemed haphazard; it was as if Neil Gaiman was trying to think of something on the spot to justify the Jacks' actions.

The ending didn't make much sense to me either from a logistical standpoint.

I suppose I didn't feel very strongly about this upon completion, but this was still a fairly solid read and despite the few discrepancies I noticed, I did enjoy my time reading it :)
