7/8/2016 Linda Rae Apolzon said: This book deals with a common childhoodl fear--someone else is in your mother's body! Coraline is a great character, and the book hits the perfect balance of very creepy but not too much for a kid to handle. It's too scary for adults.

The vision of the dark halls, the misty surrounding and the creepiness of the other mother was well written, easily imagined an... more

I thoroughly enjoyed the journey of this tale.

Probably the creepiest book I've read all year. Gaiman's style, however, is amazing and all Gaiman. He manages maintain a sense of complete control while allowing the world around Coraline to more or less fall apart. An amazing work of horror fantasy that will hopefully hook even the most relucta... more
