WHO IS IN THE STORY

The Man Jack who has evil on his mind.

The Inhabitants of the Graveyard

The story takes place

In the

graveyard.

At the beginning of the story, The Man Jack, sneaks into Bod’s house when he is just a baby. The Man

Jack has evil intents, but Bod manages to escape. He crawls down the road into the village

graveyard, and is cared for by a ghostly couple who are happy to

finally have child. As Bod grows up in the safety of the graveyard, he soon discovers that The Man Jack

has not given up on his evil intents.

My comments

Neil Gaiman was successful at maintaining the tension and

suspense that was introduced at the beginning of the story. Throughout my reading, I wondered what The Man Jack would do next, and how

Bod would successfully rid himself of this evil danger. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves mystery, thrills, and

suspense!!!!
