Okay, now that I've gotten over the initial fanboy gushing about a new Neil Gaiman book, I can perhaps give more rational and reasoned reflection about the book so far.
I'm up to page 77, which puts me in the midst of Chapter 3. One thing I've always enjoyed about Gaiman books is that I've often found some reference to some other piece of literature or other form of art that sends me off on a search, and The Graveyard Book is no exception. The appearance of The Lady on the Grey and the deference the ghosts paid her sent me on a search, which led me to a story by John Collier. Whether the lady in Collier's story bears a connection to the one in Gaiman's book remains to be seen, so stay tuned for more on that.
There are a few more questions, especially regarding Silas. I'm curious to discover what, exactly, he is. Being Gaiman, I'm sure I will not be disappointed.
