What Do I Need To Use Goldwell Color

The Curious Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman

"Look.
You would have seen the mortuary chapel abandoned its iron gates padlocked, ivy along the arrow, a shrub growing in the gutter at the roof height.
(...)
Maybe have you not seen a woman pale and plump dating back alley near the entrance gates, and even if you the view would, at closer inspection you would know it was only moonlight, fog and shadow. "

A mysterious assassin, Jack, killing an entire family except a baby just 18 months out of bed, down stairs, left the house, climbs the hill and into the cemetery where ghosts, intrigued, find it. When a still trembling and hesitant approaches, everyone understands that this is the mother of the child who has been murdered: it begs the ghosts take care of her son's mysterious killer will try to again. A couple of ghosts, Owens, decided to adopt the baby and they designate as guardian Silas's strange because only they can belong to the world of the dead as well as to the living world, which gives it the advantage of go into the real world to find food for the child.
Nobody Called and appointed free citizen of the cemetery, the child grows up among the ghosts and other fantasy creatures that populate the scene: wyvern, ghouls, werewolves, witches drowned and burned ... and characters from another time, sometimes very remote as Gaius Pompey, buried there 2000 years.
fantasy novel of initiation, the novel by Neil Gaiman is not that the story of life living in this small kingdom of the dead is also a very outstanding novel and mystery since the threat of the killer, Jack, still weighs and justifies the imprisonment of the child ...

Wonderful gallery of characters (even if some remain a bit shallow), immersed in a world so wonderful but Gothic, detective story, The strange life of Nobody Owens is a novel multiple. Yet I have not always been captivated, I admit I even skipped a few pages (my mood is perhaps the cause!). Fortunately, the last third of the novel is striking and significantly boosted my interest in this story: when I found that sometimes there were some delays, the writing has suddenly made very cinematic, the pace became breathless before leaving sweet emotion conclude the novel. In the acknowledgments
completing the book, the author states that it took 20 years to write, which may explain that it has several phases.
The few illustrations of Dave McKean are rather aimed at the first public The Curious Life of Nobody Owens , teenagers, but this novel is no less lush and demanding.
