Book Review: The Last Raven

Holy mother of Raven, I did not expect that ending! It was not cliffhangery but I seriously did not expect that because I was still reeling from the other twists the author has thrown my way. Right, let me calm down first and let’s start from the beginning.

Book Review: The Graveyard Book

It’s not every day that you get to encounter a book that would affect you so deeply that you just want to savor in its quaintness for how many days. The Graveyard Book is one such book wherein Neil Gaiman’s storytelling enhanced the richness of Nobody Owen’s, our little hero, story. Nobody ‘Bod’ Owens grew up and was raised by the ghosts in the graveyard. Bod thought that this was normal as he traipsed around and explored the graveyard as a growing child would normally do. However, his normal life within the compounds of the graveyard was turned upside and…
