skittyrreads 's review for:

Coraline by Neil Gaiman
3.75
adventurous dark mysterious reflective tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

As both a fan of Gaiman and the movie i've been wanting to read this for a while. 

While I think the movie improves upon a ton of things (Coraline and the side characters, the plot's pacing and the visuals) there is a lot to like here if you're a fan! The mention of the *thing* in the tunnel, the butterfly girl and the other father's fate. It's a fast read too, so i'd say this is worth the 1 hour or so to read it.
