I certainly enjoyed The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, which I just finished, and was lovely. Don't believe I've read any of the others.

wow, I can actually say I have never read any of those books. That's kind of sad :0(

I've only read two, The Graveyard Book and The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.

I've only read The Graveyard Book, but I have The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher on my bookshelf to be read at some point.

Those are the two I've read as well, Rora. I REALLY liked The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.

Luann - what did you think of The Graveyard Book? I thought it was okay.

I liked it enough to give it four stars - although it was really probably closer to 3.5 for me. I talk more about why I liked it and some of my problems with the book in my review. It's probably my third favorite Neil Gaiman book - not counting his picture books. I haven't read any of his graphic novels.
