this book was so nostalgic and beautiful.
i just recently watched the movie in theatres, and it was so nice to read the book for the first time!
i’ve always loved the film, since childhood, and it was so surreal to have it in the flesh.
i do wish that it had been written in a more adult fashion, it took me a bit to get used to, but overall: it was fantastic.
i enjoyed pinpointing the differences between it and the film, getting more detail of coraline’s thoughts and behaviors, and just owning the book in general.
highly highly recommend!!!!
i do think the film was a bit more creative and colorful, but i suppose it’s because the book is so short, they had to elongate and really bring it to life.
