Welcome to another First Impression Friday. In case this is your first time, here’s the rundown:
• Based on this sampling of your current read, give a few impressions and predict what you’ll think by the end.
• Did you think you’d love and ended up hating it? Or did you think you’d hate it and wound up loving it? Or were you exactly right?
• Link back to Storeys of Stories so I can enjoy reading all the First Impression Fridays out there!
Now that that’s out of the way, let’s talk about The Graveyard Book!
This is one of those books that I didn’t bother reading the synopsis for. Fellow blogger Kiersten talks so highly about it. Plus, it’s Neil Gaiman. What else could I possibly need to know?
I’m a few chapters in, and I’m loving it. I was a little disappointed with myself for not seeing that this was a Jungle Book retelling right off the bat. Maybe I should have read the synopsis after all.
But since figuring that out, it’s upped my enjoyment of it as I try to figure out which characters are Baloo, Bagheera, King Louie, etc.
My prediction: 5 stars!
It is considered a children’s book, a highly regarded one (that I have not read)! Sounds fun though! Hope you enjoy 🙂
Yay I can’t wait to see your thoughts!!! I hope you like it!
Hahaha A children book? But Harry Potter is also a children book and yet Joe …. 😉
*screams* I LOVE THE GRAVEYARD BOOK SO MUCH! AHHHHHH.
I can’t wait to hear what your thoughts are on this. I need to re-read it again, even though I’ve already read it like 5 times.
Haha. Sound like fun.
