I watched the movie before reading the book. It was good, but I wanted the doll with the button eyes and Wybie!! It wasn't as good without him.

I absolutely, 100%, loved this book. From now on it's going to be my go-to book for Halloween. This is the perfect loveable-but-spooky story.

Neil Gaiman writes the most unthinkable tales that stick with you forever. I've watched Coraline but the book is so much better, so much scarier... the way things are described, my God! This is not a childrens book. And the drawings are so dark and twisted.

Coraline is such a great character, so strong and empowered. Such a great role model for young girls, I'm just not shore if they will be able to sleep after reading this story.

I declare myself a Neil Gaiman fan, I will hunt and read every single book by him!

This book is such a quick and enjoyable read. Whimsical horror at its finest. I was spooked a bit reading this as an adult! The writing is superb and it was perfect for the Halloween season.
