Book #13 - Coraline
May. 8th, 2008 06:53 pmI have now read something by Neil Gaiman. Also, now Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is no longer the only book I've ever read in a single day. Coraline is super-short and I read it actually just in one sitting, the night before the day we began discussing it in Fantasy & Romance.
I haven't yet had any nightmares from it, but I expect them any night. It's _creepy_!! Coraline is a young girl who discovers that the door in her family's drawing room - which her parents believe opens only upon a brick wall - leads to another world. One where the people have black buttons for eyes and All Is Not Well. Back in the day I read the Goosebumps books and thought nothing of them. I suppose I just haven't read anything scary in a while so my defenses were down. A good story, apart from the creepy factor, so maybe one I'll some day recommend to Morgan if she's into that sort of thing.
Title: Coraline
Author: Neil Gaiman (by the way, is it "Guy-man" or "Gay-man"?)
Pages: 192
