Coraline by Neil Gaiman

4.0

Coraline! This movie terrified me as a kid even though I don’t think I even watched the whole thing it had simply always given me the creeps so I was a little hesitant when this came up for a Halloween book for a book club I’m in, but when I learned it’s by Neil gaiman I thought I would give it a try as I’m a big fan of the good omens show and haven’t actually read anything by him. And it went okay! I read it outside on a warm sunny afternoon which I think helped but it did not freak me out as much as I thought it would and I liked it! Neil Gaiman says at the end that it’s a book “that children experienced as an adventure, but which gave adults nightmares” and I seem to be on the reverse end of that which is a win for my “inner” child! I might even be ready to watch the movie now
