![]() ![]() ![]() There were times when I seriously wondered how old Coraline was meant to be. But there was just something about it that was kinda. And as usual, Neil's reading of it was great, full of wonderful characters and fantastic storytelling. ![]() I know what you're thinking, "THREE AND A HALF STARS?! For Coraline?!!" But yes. I wish there was more of it, in a sense, since I pretty much swallowed it down in one gulp, but on the other hand, it's just right as it is. That's just tempting fate (as proved by me being a mere 5'3", after all my parents' hopes of me being very tall!).Ĭoraline's pretty short and easy to read, and wasn't even too bad to read on the screen like that. I'm still right with Coraline in thinking it's ridiculous to buy something huge in the hopes the kid'll grow into it someday. I loved all the little comments about parents being dumb - when you're little, parents are, aren't they? It's not often a child knows better, but sometimes they do. ![]() That doesn't stop it being slightly creepy, slightly weird, and full of trademark Neil Gaiman observations about things. It is/was here, though.Ĭoraline is, I think, aimed at the youngest audience of all Gaiman's books that I've read. It's up right now as I write this, but I don't know how long for. I bought this for my sister a while ago, and always meant to read it, but in the end I ended up reading it on the HarperCollins site, when they put it up as a free browse inside thing. ![]()
