Coraline Review
This was a cute book, although quite dark. There is great suspense and a lot of eerie details that I think would appeal to a lot of young readers. On the other hand, it’s not the type of book for any sensitive readers out there. Parents are kidnapped and trapped, villains have button’s for eyes, which is creepy, there are ghosts that need releasing and of course a talking cat that seems to be the voice of reason, defiance and help. The novel has a great message and a satisfying ending. I’m eagerly awaiting the movie that is coming out soon.
Coraline Summary
The day after they moved in, Coraline went exploring....
In Coraline's family's new flat are twenty-one windows and fourteen doors. Thirteen of the doors open and close.
The fourteenth is locked, and on the other side is only a brick wall, until the day Coraline unlocks the door to find a passage to another flat in another house just like her own.
Only it's different.
At first, things seem marvelous in the other flat. The food is better. The toy box is filled with wind-up angels that flutter around the bedroom, books whose pictures writhe and crawl and shimmer, little dinosaur skulls that chatter their teeth. But there's another mother, and another father, and they want Coraline to stay with them and be their little girl. They want to change her and never let her go.
Other children are trapped there as well, lost souls behind the mirrors. Coraline is their only hope of rescue. She will have to fight with all her wits and all the tools she can find if she is to save the lost children, her ordinary life, and herself.
Critically acclaimed and award-winning author Neil Gaiman will delight readers with his first novel for all ages.
