""Sometimes funny, always creepy, genuinely moving, this marvellous spine-chiller will appeal to readers from nine to ninety."" – ""Books for Keeps"". ""I was looking forward to ""Coraline"", and I wasn’t disappointed. In fact, I was enthralled. This is a marvellously strange and scary book."" – Philip Pullman, ""Guardian"". ""If any writer can get the guys to read about the girls, it should be Neil Gaiman. His new novel ""Coraline"" is a dreamlike adventure. For all its gripping nightmare imagery, this is actually a conventional fairy story with a moral."" – ""Daily Telegraph"". Stephen King once called Neil Gaiman ‘a treasure-house of stories’ and, in this wonderful novel, which has been likened to both ""Alice in Wonderland"" and the ""Narnia Chronicles"", we get to see Neil at his storytelling best.

Coraline is a scary book. It has good vocabulary. It engages the reader.

It is based on a children's horror movie but it was not that scary. I recommend this book because it is quite fascinating and Coraline was indeed adventurous.
