It’s a very lighthearted book, even if a bit spooky. I have to admit this time the movie did such a better job. Many things in the books were totally random and just threw there to solve problems (but they didn’t make any sense at all). Coraline is my favourite animated movie ever and I was really curious to read de book. I expected it to be much better, but it was a very fast reading and I still enjoyed it a lot! 

3.5 because the story really doesn’t make sense in the book
Movie 5/5
