So, I have to say this was one of the best read's we have had this semester. I also really liked the very unusual plot of this story. It was a pretty typical coming of age story as far as plot events go, but by having the typical horrific elements actually being the protagonists was very refreshing twist on the coming-of-age genre. All in all it reminds me a little of Casper.
And then once you call it a coming of age story, there are little ironies thrown all around, like the simplest/most blatant one being the fact its focus on the graveyard and the dead, which usually reflect the end of life, where as coming of age stories reflect the beginning of life.
In sum, all and all, it was a very excellent story that I greatly enjoyed.
