Book Review: Coraline by Neil Gaiman
Title: Coraline
Author: Neil Gaiman
Published: 2006
Language: English
Pages: 162
Rating: 5/5
Summary:
In Coraline's house, in the drawing room, there is a door. The first time she opens it, she finds only a brick wall. But when she opens it again, she finds a replica of her own house, filled with copies; of her room, of the kitchen, of her parents, of the cat in the garden... but something is different here. And Coraline soon realizes, it's not different in a good way.
Review:
I went in blind reading this book, and I really, really enjoyed it. The tone is set right away; eerie and creepy. It does not take long before the action begins, which I really enjoyed.
The writing is simple and easy to read, which I thought suited the story well. In a way, parts of this book reminds me of Alice in Wonderland in the way that she finds another world, and sort of just go with the flow in a way, which I really enjoyed.
Basically, this was a creepy, scary, a little gross and exciting tale that I would highly recommend if you want to read something a little terrifying.
