Another Pair of Book Reviews (Graveyard Book and Things Not Seen)

I have just finished two more books. Flights home from Vegas will do that to you.

I read Neil Gaiman's new "The Graveyard Book" -- and it was fantastic. Really, really good. It's a nice little young adult fantasy novel involving a real boy who lives in a graveyard. There's nothing specific I liked about the book but it's well done and you just become involved as you read it. It's a quick read and is relatively short. But it's got some really interesting premises going on. I think you guys will like this one.

The other was "Things Not Seen" by Andrew Clements. This one's not my typical book because it's just plain ol' fiction. Not fantasy or sci-fi. It's a boy meets girl tale starring a 15 year old kid who happens to turn invisible and a girl who happens to be blind. You'll find yourself smiling through the entire thing. Nothing heady or complex but just a good book. There are some parts you'll wonder why the hero isn't a typical horny kid, but I don't suppose it matters. I can't give the spoiler, but you'll see.

Nation. Wow. (See review a few days ago). Really read that book.

I am cranky and jet lagged. Scooter doesn't appear well and I am concerned. I'll wait until tomorrow to see if it's just a quick thing or she needs to go the vet.
