Audible Book Review: The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
This is wonderful entertainment! Do not make the mistake of thinking this book is horror because it's not. It is "ghost" story telling at its best!

Review:
This was narrated by the author and it is a fabulous ‘light’ ghost story.
Nobody Owens is only a toddler when an evil man sneaks in and kills his parents and sister. The infant toddles out the open door and crawls to the nearby graveyard which is now a nature reserve. When the bad man tries to get in to capture the baby, Mr. and Mrs. Owens decide to ‘adopt’ him. They don’t know his real name so he is dubbed Nobody, ‘Bod’ for short.
Bod is given ‘the Freedom of the Graveyard’ and Silas, who is neither ghost nor human, but who is also allowed ‘the Freedom of the Graveyard’ is appointed as Guardian. Silas is able to leave the graveyard to bring in food, clothing and other necessities for a living boy. When Silas has to be away he brings in another character, Miss Lupescu, to watch over Bod.
The story is broken into nine chapters which cover adventures as Bod comes to the graveyard and grows, with the help of his graveyard family, to be a brave, curious and determined young man of 15. Bod makes a friend of a visiting girl and visits a dark tomb where there is a frightening ‘sleer’ that guards a treasure. Most who have visited do not return. Bod doesn’t always obey his guides and one misadventure takes him on a wild and scary visit to the land of the ghouls. Bod makes a friend of a witch ghost in one episode and in another he tries to go to a human school. There is also a story involving a strange, much anticipated and exciting “dance of the macabre.’ Eventually the tale comes full circle with Bod having to face the Man Jack who is still seeking to kill him.
The stories are incredibly imaginative and the writing is filled with wonderful visual descriptions bringing the graveyard and its inhabitants to life! If you look at the Open Book feature at Amazon you will see that there are nicely spooky illustrations. But do not mistake this story for horror as it is so much more. It is story telling at its best with adventure, humor, creepiness, a bit of the macabre and even moral lessons.
The Audible version is great listening. Neil Gaiman, the author as narrator, provides a fittingly spooky voice. His accent and reading are perfect for the tale. I wanted to listen right through and didn't even let the thought of nightmares stop me. I highly recommend this in Audible, or if you don’t (heaven forbid) do audios yet then get it in another format. I will be looking for more stories from this author.

Publisher's Summary:
Nobody Owens, known to his friends as Bod, is a normal boy. He would be completely normal if he didn't live in a sprawling graveyard, being raised and educated by ghosts, with a solitary guardian who belongs to neither the world of the living nor of the dead.There are dangers and adventures in the graveyard for a boy. But if Bod leaves the graveyard, then he will come under attack from the man Jack - who has already killed Bod's family.
Beloved master storyteller Neil Gaiman returns with a luminous new novel for the audience that embraced his New York Times best-selling modern classic Coraline. Magical, terrifying, and filled with breathtaking adventures, The Graveyard Book is sure to enthrall readers of all ages.

A few passages I liked:Silas comments on the decision to allow the Owens to keep the toddler in the graveyard:
“... It is going to take more than just a couple of good-hearted souls to raise this child. It will,” said Silas, “take a graveyard.” Page 23.Bod’s thoughts looking at the treasures (a brooch, a cup and a stone knife) protected by The Sleer:
The treasures of 10,000 years ago were not the treasures of today.One of the ghosts encourages Bod to consider leaving the graveyard to find adventures in travel:
“If you dare nothing, when the day is over, nothing is all you will have gained.”
This was from my own Audible Library and I am so glad I pulled it to listen!
I will add this to my New Author and Audio Challenge lists.

Book Review and Giveaway: Heroes Die Young by T. M. Hunter
This is a fun, fast sci fi read.
Aston West is a space pirate who sometimes takes legitimate freight jobs. He is delivering a cargo when he comes across an abandoned freighter with a valuable cargo of illegal weapons. When he boards the ship to pick up the weapons he also picks up a living occupant, Rione. After first attacking him Rione ends up hitching a ride when local space craft move out to blow up the freighter.
Aston’s set to dump his passenger, unload his legit cargo and take off to sell his booty. As a bonus he picks up a new delivery and all looks good until he gets arrested. The authorities can’t prove he has illegal cargo thanks to the camouflaging capabilities of his constant companion and aid: Jeanie, his ship’s computer. She is the closest you might get to a genie in a bottle. But Rione is pointing the finger at him and in order to get released Aston has to make a deal.
Aston has no desire to take sides between two planet governments, nor rebels on either planet. He doesn’t want to be anyone’s hero. He just wants to enjoy the profits of his ‘salvage’ and live his life quietly and safely alone. Fate and Rione have other plans as she manipulates him into helping her rebellion.
I really enjoyed Aston’s laissez-faire character and the light, ironic tone of this adventure. The plot involves hidden agendas and betrayals but it is complete in this story. The writing is easy to read and there is plenty of action to keep it fast paced.
I'm glad I got to read this and would be glad to read more. This is just one episode in Aston’s career but I could see it being part of more adventures. And in fact... I just checked and there are other Aston adventures available. If you enjoy easy sci fi, I think this would make a great ‘series’ or related story group to pick up for light, fast reading.

Book Description
Publication Date: September 1, 2008
A derelict freighter abandoned in outer space is too much for space pirate Aston West to pass up and he can't fight the urge to pilfer its valuable cache of illegal weapons. However, the ship's one last occupant has other ideas and fights to maintain her hold on the weaponry. After attack craft return to finish the ship off, Aston has no choice but to save her from certain destruction. Who is she? What are the weapons for? Why was the freighter destroyed? For every answer he finds, he discovers more questions, and his life is put in jeopardy every time he stops to catch his breath. Aston's life motto of never getting involved is put to the test, and he must decide whether to become a hero for a people in need, or continue on his path of self-preservation.

Aston speaking to his computer, Jeanie:“What would I do without you?” I stood from my chair.Setting out for another deliver:
“Live your life as a hollow shell of a man.” Page 22.
I’d been shot at, threatened, imprisoned, verbally abused, and nearly sentenced to death. This definitely not my finest hour. Page 55.Aston's thoughts when being permitted to bring his friend along on a summons to visit with the President:
It was a good sign. If I were in trouble, they would have shot down my demand. Still, I wasn’t sure what was going on, and though that seemed to be a common occurrence anymore, it bothered me. Page 99.
This book was from my TBR as I won it quite some time ago from the author at a Champagne Books chat.

If you saw the pictures posted of my bookshelves and boxes you know I do have lots of books! And that doesn't include the other eight or so boxes at my office!! And more books as I find deals too good to pass up! I am sharing my book bounty by these Friday Pick Giveaways.
I started Friday Pick in November 27, 2009 and in two years I posted 26 groups of 16 books to find new homes! (March 2012)
I started Friday Pick in November 27, 2009 and in two years I posted 26 groups of 16 books to find new homes! (March 2012)
I have periodically update the lists - deleting those won. You can still go to the Friday Pick list link to see older posts and the older lists book pictures if you want! I am happy to say that so far about 388 books have found new homes! YAY. I have to update my print out to check the exact number sent out - a few were never claimed.
Note rules here regarding international entries.
Because postage to overseas can be prohibitive I am willing to give a $5.00 book certificate to international winners - Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Borders, ARe, TWRP, ClassAct Books, eTreasures, Desert Breeze, etc....you tell me where and I'll set it up. So for my overseas visitors your comment may indicate a smaller book and I'll check postage or note your choice of gift card.
I learned that The Book Depository does not ship to everywhere. The postage for some of the books to far away places runs between $5.00 and $6.00 and up. Since I would award $5.00 for The Book Depository to an international winner, as an alternative you may choose a smaller book and we will hope the postage will not exceed $6.00. If the postage is more, or if you want to pick a larger book and you are willing to pay any extra postage beyond the $6.00 I will work with you on that. This may not make a difference to many but if it helps one or two of you to give one of my books a home that will make me happy too. :o)
TO ENTER:
Leave a comment and tell me WHICH BOOK you would like to get from the Friday Pick lists.

I didn't get the chance this year to line up sponsors but I have a big Grand Prize to share in celebration.
Because I love reading and I love my e-reader (a Kindle) plus I have Nook on my Tablet, and I want to share the love of ebooks with my blogger followers, I am giving away ....:
Now - some people may already have a reader or a tablet, so I am offering a $50.00 Gift Card as an alternative -- winner's choice.
Also- I haven't checked the postage cost for various countries, but as long as the postage is under $50.00 I will send the Nook worldwide!
Keep a watch out because I will be posting some other book prizes over the next two weeks.
NOTE - winner will be announced a day or two after the close of the contest and the post will include the Winners Form link to claim the prizes.

NOTE - winner will be announced a day or two after the close of the contest and the post will include the Winners Form link to claim the prizes.
