She discovers an apartment that looks exactly like the one where she lives, but the similarities are only surface deep. Coraline ends up on a fast-paced adventure with a...

I don’t read horror, and this book only reinforced my opinion of the genre. I’m not going to read horror again. But despite my aversion to reading about scary and slimy, I unexpectedly enjoyed this short book. It’s disturbing and fascinating, frightening and charming. Its heroine, young Coraline, is...

Meh. This strongly reminded me of the ocean at the end of the lane which is my least favorite Neil Gaiman book. He's still one of my favorite authors though.

I loved Coraline the novel, and when I saw that it had a graphic novel I just had to try out.And did I enjoy it? Yes, I did.

“Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.”This is the opening quote which Neil Gaiman chose to begin his story with. Gaiman, undoubtedly, is one of my all time favorite writers, and as usual, in this book he fas...

This story was absolutely fabulous! It's been on my to-read list for quite a while. It wasn't until my son brought it up a few days ago that he really liked the story and wanted to see the movie that I pulled if off our shelf and started reading it. After that, my son and I watched the movie and enj...

I can add this book to the list of things not to read while home alone at night. Which I did. For a children's book, this was really creepy, at least to me. I couldn't believe at the end when Neil Gaiman said he read this to his six-year-old. I would have been up the entire night. What, can I say,...

This is the second book I've read by Neil Gaiman, and I love love love him. I am a big baby when it comes to scary things. It took me over a year to read World War Z because I could only read it during the day, and in tiny chunks. Neil Gaiman has such a great writing style which I can only descri...
