Coraline and her family move into a building shared with others. A bit of Alice in Wonderland, but a bit more creepier.

I really enjoyed this book. The only thing about it that really seemed like it was a children's book was the length, only about 160 pages. It read more like a chilling short story. This is the second Neil Gaiman book I've read, and I liked this book better than "Stardust".

Gaiman says that children, as a general rule, read Coraline as an adventure story while it gives adults nightmares. It hasn't given me nightmares (book usually don't -- except Cujo), but I can definitely see how this is true. I found Coraline fascinating and original.

The movie obviously was alot more mellow then the book. If you liked the movie then you should read the book, it's different and more dark then the movie and actually gets you having a few chills and leaving you saying "well that wasn't in the movie" lol

Good Book. I liked it
