However, the colourful imagery from the screen fit in nicely with the tale and I am impressed how strong and accurate the movie adaptation was. The parts of the writing not included in the movie were also able to fit in seamlessly in my reccolection of the movie world and were testament to Gaiman's storytelling writing.
The impatient and paticular temprament of Coraline is exceptionally believable, the oddball characters she encounters are an unsettling delight, and the other mother is the queen of creepy!

I have now found a new favorite. Such a great children's book. The dark themes of the film are there in the book, but with a few extras (not giving any spoilers).
This book is a must read!
I also love that I now have my own copy of the book.
