Coraline: The Movie Collector's Edition

by Neil Gaiman

HARPERCOLLINS PUBLISHERS | October 20, 2008 | Hardcover

Coraline went exploring one day . . .

Her family has just moved to a completely new town, and so Coraline already feels a bit strange. In her new house there is one door that opens onto a brick wall. At least, it does until one day the bricks are gone and Coraline finds herself stepping over the threshold into another house . . . a house that's just like hers.

At first things appear marvelous in this other house. The food is better. The toy box is filled with windup angels that flutter about, books whose pictures crawl and shimmer, and little dinosaur skulls that chatter their teeth. But there's another mother and another father-and they want Coraline to be their little girl and stay with them forever. They want to change her and never let her go.

Other children are also trapped, as lost souls behind a mirror, and Coraline is their only hope. She will have to find a way to meet the other mother's challenge in order to save the lost children, her ordinary life, and herself.

    I know this is a young adult book "officially" but Neil Gaiman always gives you a story with levels and quirkiness and sly humour, and Coraline is no exception.

    When Coraline, bored and ignored by her parents, decides to explore the new flat the family has just moved into, she discovers that a door that should go nowhere actually goes into what seems to be a parallel world with a parallel set of her parents and all the other people living in her building.

    At first Coraline thinks it might be fun to have parents who want to play with her, and do fun things with her. But soon Coraline realizes something odd is going on, and before long she understands that she's in a fix, and in order to get back to her "real" world, Coraline will need to use every bit of ingenuity, cleverness and courage she can muster.

    This was a great story with a little bit of everything: adventure, puzzles to solve, mystery, suspense, family values, talking cats, evil creatures - you name it, it's in Coraline. This was a fun read and I enjoyed it!

    Although I'm no longer in the group that this book was written for I did still enjoy it.
    I found it captivating and easy to read. I thought the story was good, and definitely creepy at parts. I actually shuddered at the button eyes!
    Definitely would recommend it for anyone from age 8 and up and I'm looking forward to watching the movie.

    I admit, I started reading this book, because I saw a preview for the movie. I have not seen the movie - but the book was Fantastic! I couldn't read it quick enough and when it came to the end I was a little disappointed because I wanted it to go on. What an engaging nightmare. I guess I will definitely have to see the movie now, too.

    I've heard of Neil Gaiman for years but have never read anything of his before. I will certainly read him, now.

    Coraline will keep you on the edge of you seat!

    This book is a fantastic read! The story has similar elements from Alice's Adventure in Wonderland, with a more modern fairy tale style. The mysteries and the scary events that occur keep you reading to the end. If you enjoy a little scare, give Coraline a read. You won't regret following Coraline through the door with the brick wall...or will you?
