Ok, I just now stumbled upon this Kindle eBook deal available only in the UK – it’s for Neil Gaiman‘s award-winning book The Graveyard Book for only £0.99 (it’s normally £4.08).
As of this posting the deal ends in around 9 hours, so those of you in the UK, grab this book at this low price asap – it’s an awesome book!!! (See the countdown clock on the main deal page.)
If you’re in the UK and want the print edition, the UK paperback version for £4.29. (In the U.S., the U.S. Paperback and U.S. Kindle are only $7.99 each.)
Nobody Owens, known as Bod, is a normal boy. Or as normal as a boy who lives in a graveyard, is raised and educated by ghosts and whose guardian belongs to neither the world of the living nor the dead can be. But if Bod leaves the graveyard then he will come under attack from Jack, who has already killed Bod’s family.
Call me a traitor, but this one wasn’t one of my favorite Gaiman books. Â While I liked how he wrote certain characters (like Silas) and left it up to the reader what to think about them, I never really connected to Bod, so I didn’t feel sad at the end of the book.
Smiles!
