I've read this book so many times! Its about a boy called Nobody Owens, and his story as he finds his family's murderer while being brought up by ghosts.

just what I needed
5 stars
I forgot how much I liked this book. Gaiman claims it is inspired by the Jungle Book, but to me it felt more like Kidnapped, but improved.
The most remarkable thing (other than me sitting down and reading a book on paper for once), was the complete lack of cynicism. That is not a sure thing with Gaiman.

That was superb. The opening is quite macabre, but it soon settles down into being The Jungle Book with a graveyard setting -- and it works really well.
The story is enthralling and really quite moving.
