Omg I am so envious! I would love to hear NG in person, for all the reasons you mentioned. I did listen to part of the first chapter of The Graveyard Book and now I've got to get a copy soooooon. I love the way he does the accents and the tiny bits of humor here or there (especially for those of us who know some British history/culture).
Ok, putting teenage crush-self away where she belongs.
I get to see him tomorrow, and I just ordered my copies! So excited.
I spent so much time last week looking at the covers, it's crazy. I'm always intrigued when things go differently for kids and adult version of books! And with these two awesome illustrators, they both look SO AWESOME. Yay.
The McKean is illustrated and is, in fact, the children's edition (and the sole edition) her in the U.S. Weird, but true. The British version will apparently not be available until about Halloween unless you are in Singapore or the Phillippines (per Neil, anyhow).
Yeah, if I have it straight, our McKean is the same as the UK McKean but here it's the only version and there it's the adult version . . . or did they take out the internal illustrations for the UK McKean?
