Nobody - finally put to rest
I finished Graveyard - wow tough book for me. I was excited as the action finally began to rise towards the end but then disappointed when Scarlett is forced to forget Nobody. Overall this book was a disappointment for me. I liked some of the historical elements but I just couldn't invest. There were so many elements I felt were thrown in and then abandoned. I can see why some kids would find it appealing but not much to teach. Big question - Why is the character called "Nobody"? I kept waiting for the irony, did I miss it?

I am totally with you about Scarlett forgetting Nobody. That seemed to be one bright thread running through the book, and then - snip - it's gone. As far as the name - I thought it was a play on words with his last name - Nobody Owens - as in nobody owns him since he is an orphan.
