A lovely, entertaining read - just about what I expected. It's interesting to draw parallels to Kipling's Jungle Book, certainly intended by Gaiman, his inspiration actually - and he didn't just do a poor imitation. I agree with what some reviewer once wrote: "I wish my younger self could have had the opportunity to read and reread this wonderful book". Highgate Cemetery kept appearing to my inner eye when I was reading the book.
The morbid charme of the story is really enjoyable, and especially Gaiman's new interpretations of classic fantasy creatures such as werewolves or vampires. Quite a few things remain a bit shallow ... but ... well ... this is a children's book and not written in the first place for rational, analysing adults, so I won't complain about some lacking depths or explanations.
