“When a baby escapes a murderer intent on killing the entire family, who would have thought it would find safety and security in the local graveyard? Brought up by the resident ghosts, ghouls and spectres, Bod has an eccentric childhood learning about life from the dead. But for Bod there is also the danger of the murderer still looking for him – after all, he is the last remaining member of the family. A stunningly original novel deftly constructed over eight chapters, featuring every second year of Bod’s life, from babyhood to adolescence. Will Bod survive to be a man?”

(Silas says)…
“And there are always people who find their lives have become so unsupportable they believe the best thing they could do would be to hasten their transition to another plane of existence.”
“They kill themselves, you mean?” said Bod. He was about eight years old, wide-eyed and inquisitive, and he was not stupid.
“Indeed.”
“Does it work? Are they happier dead?”
“Sometimes. Mostly, no. It’s like the people who believe they’ll be happy if they go and live somewhere else, but who learn it doesn’t work that way. Wherever you go, you take yourself with you. If you see what I mean.”

I just finished reading The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. It was just as wonderful at I thought it would be. I loved the illustrations in the book as well (I read the adult version, I believe that the childrens version, illustrated by Chris Riddell is just as wonderful). So I’ll give this book 5 of 5! Go read it!

Went to the video store today and rented (legally!) 3 movies I thought I should entertain myself with during the weekend. The Boat that Rocked, Sunshine Cleaning and Dead Snow (Død snø). It was ages ago since I saw a zombie movie so I thought why not start with nazi-zombies? ;) The creators of Sunshine Cleaning also did Little Miss Sunshine which I loved, hopefully Sunshine Cleaning will be just as good.

Have you guys seen any of these? What did you think?

Trailers after the jump!

On Monday night, NTV aired a special episode of “Hajimete no otsukai” (”First errand”), an adorable show that sends small children on errands. The kids are usually younger than 5-years-old, so few even notice that there are cameras watching them from across the street or sometimes from even a few feet away.

Here’s a partially subtitled segment showing two cute little kids, Masaki (5 years and 2 months) and his little sister Saika (2 years and 10 months), as they go on a journey to buy ingredients for their mom’s beef stew… [via]

I do hope that there were hidden “watchers” that looked out for them during their journey!
