Review #3 (The ending and my thoughts)

The Ending
       I have to say that the ending of this book is quite horrible in a way but, it's the only way it could have ended so I'm content with it. Spoiler Alert but, Nobody gets revenge on his parent's killer and is basically kicked out of the graveyard. Everyone tells him its time for him to live out in the world and then can come back to be buried there if he chooses. He asks Silas about who he is and what he does as a guardian, almost asking as if how to be one, could be more books? All of these things, in a way, disappointed me because the whole book was about when he was a kid and then boom, he just has to leave and go life a normal life. Maybe its not so much how it ended but, maybe its the fact that I just want more and as of now, there isn't second helpings. The book as a whole was very delightful and was keeping me just wanting more as I was reading, just wanting to know what is next. I can tell it was a good book because I read it almost around two days, mmmmm mmm have to love good books. The characters seem visible, the plot is intriguing and eventful, there is a constant forwardness to the book that gives it a fast pace. The only thing I would have to say could be better was, it seemed as if 80% of the book was leading up to the climax and then the last 20% was climax and resolution. I like everything well balanced, a nice long book around 700 pages, but hey, that's just what I prefer. Then at least it doesn't take me two days to read, and everything is rapped up in 100 pages.
      I really can't say anymore good things about the book, it had everything you needed in it and the only problem is just not having more of the book to read. Most of the book can be very morbid and unsuspected in that nature but, it just adds to the realism of all the ghosts in the graveyard. Little details of things like what is written on the headstone of each ghost that Bod talks to. You are almost developing a image of a family for a Bod as you progress which is maybe why I hate the ending so much; everything you worked up to is just gone. Would something like that ruin a book for you, or would everything else be more important? Cheers.
