Coraline and Other Stories by Neil Gaiman
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
3.0
Coraline is one of my favourite movies to watch at Halloween so was so excited when I was able to get a copy from a friend to read to end the spooky season!
The story of Coraline itself was slightly different than I expected and more concise though still gave the eery vibes that I love so much in the movie.
The short stories which proceeded it was a mix bag - some I quite enjoyed whereas others i found quite boring.
Overall I am rating this a 3 as a collection of stories it got me in the spooky mood - but can’t rate higher as my fab route story of them all was Coraline … and honestly … I think the movie is much stronger.
