A review by kreadtin
Coraline by Neil Gaiman

4.5

The best thing about this book is that it is not exactly like the movie. My kid had a real obsession with Coraline the movie, and we’ve watched it so many times we know the dialogue. When I learned it was a book, I was worried it would be boring to read but it was still very interesting. Plus we could discuss the similarities and differences between it and the movie and talk about what parts were our favourites from both genres and which we liked better.

I read this as an ebook and did not care for the illustrations. So many publishers are quick to put the movie art on the book and that usually annoys me, but this is the rare case in which I actually wished they had included the art from the movie. The cover (and art inside) is not it.
