I really, really, really enjoyed this book.

I had never watched the movie or even heard what it was about, but it was always held in such high regard that I was curious what I would think about the book.

I was worried it would be too juvenile for me but I throughly enjoyed it and stayed up half the night to finish it

Coraline is one brave, curious explorer! This is my first Gaiman and while the subtle horror, weirdness, and fantasy are cleverly written and told, I think I will have to read more of his works to get a feel of his wit. Nonetheless, I still recommend this to all ages. :)
