Chilling and delightful at once. Don't read it when you're alone in the dark and not feeling the best. Coraline becomes all the creepy imaginations of your childhood at that point. I know from experience.

A comfort read is needed sometimes. Neil is a disgusting man, and I unfortunately already trauma bonded to this story

I really loved this book -- and it was much, much better than the film, as books usually are. Creepy, macabre, yet still a kid's book in many ways. Coraline is obviously a brief read, but worth it if you want some youthful creepiness.

me cagué hasta las patas un poquito, el mejor libro de mi infancia lejos

5 stars; my all time favorite movie by far! i was so excited to read the book and it did not disappoint, i feel like it was much easier to feel like you were in the book after watching the movie! i’ve watched it countless times and still didn’t know what to expect because of how different they are from eachother. definitely would read countless times again.
