This is a fantastic story and I loved all the little details. I've been meaning to read this for a while, and I'm happy I did.

A delightfully disturbing walk through the uncanny valley with our indefatigable titular heroine.

Great, spooky read.

There’s something uniquely touching about Coraline. She perfectly encapsulates childhood and the courage it requires to grow up.

Okay, I know this is a children's book, but it creeped me out to the point where I honestly couldn't read it in the evening before bed. Sad for me, but that speaks volumes about the writing. It was wonderfully creepy and dark. The imagery was vivid. Breathtaking story and fantastic storytelling!

Frustrująca przez większość czasu. Kocham tę historię, ale animacja to znacznie lepiej odegrała
