Like the book, I'm keeping this review short and sweet. I absolutely loved Neil Gaiman's Coraline. It's a magical and wondrous tale about a young girl who finds a door in their new apartment flat that leads to another world. Her parents are there in this other world...only they're not really her par...

Coraline is suppose to be a children's book, but it's so intriguing that it grabs your attention and holds it no matter what your age. I wasn't sure if it would be for me, but I really liked it. I recommend this book for all ages.

I am a huge fan of Neil Gaiman and have intended to read this for years. When it came up for sale on the Nook, I immediately jumped at the chance and bought it. It was a bit short, but no less enjoyable. I love the fact that Coraline seems like a young girl you would know. She is spunky, independe...

"Coraline" continues my love affair with Neil Gaiman's books on audio. I love his voice so much. It's soothing but also keeps my mind focused on the story. I think that he endows his words with all the emphasis, power and creative energy they should have. He's really great with different voices as w...

My thoughts, The book was stunning and in my opinion way better then the movie, not to mention the illustrations were very well done and might I add slightly creepy, which I found very interesting. As for what the book is about. It is about a young girl named Coraline Jones who’s moved into this big...

This was extremely creepy. I read the afterward, where Neil Gaiman admits that children tended to read this as an adventure story and adults as a horror story, and I was intrigued by the concept. Reading it as an adult, I definitely felt I was reading a horror story. I wonder how I would have felt...

Spooky enough to give you chills, but not so scary that you'd have nightmares. A good reminder that as kids, no matter how much we wish we had different parents, we wouldn't trade our own for anything. And as parents, we really need to make time for our kids, no matter how busy we are.For my full ...
