Editorial Reviews:

The day after they moved in, Coraline went exploring....

In Coraline's family's new flat are twenty-one window and fourteen doors. Thirteen of the doors open and close, The fourteenth is locked, and on the other side is only a brick wall, until the day Coraline unlocks the door to find a passage to another flat in another house just like her own.

Only it's different....

At first, things seem marvelous in the other flat. The food is better. The toy box is filled with wind-up angels that flutter around the bedroom. But there's another mother, and another father, and they want Coraline to stay with them and be their little girl. They want to change her and never let her go.

Other children are trapped there as well, lost souls behind the mirrors. Coraline is their only hope of rescue. She will have to fight with all her wits if she is to save the lost children, her ordinary life, and herself.

Performed by Neil Gaiman
With original music by The Gothic Archies

Summary: What's the deal with the key?
Comment: 1. This is not the novel. This is a comic book adaptation of the novel. That said, it's very well done, but you need to know what you're getting.

2. I have some issues with it. It's mentioned several pages in, that it's a very cold summer and that Coraline has to bundle up, but she's drawn wearing T-shirts and short shorts and flip flops.

3. Second issue. Coraline also takes "the key" with her to the other side, but the Other Mother sends a rat to get "the key" from Coraline's apartment. Then the Other Mother locks the door. It's mentioned that there is only one key. That confused me. Plus, Coraline eventually uses her own key to escape. I'm not sure if this discrepancy is in the original novel or just in this comic book version.

Summary: UNFORTUNATELY ORDERED THE WRONG VERSION OF CORALINE )<:
Comment: My daughter and I had a long car trip this summer in which we listened to a library audio copy of Coraline (charmingly illustrated by Neil Gaiman himself) and absolutely LOVED the story. So, for Christmas, I had decided to give her a beautiful hardbound copy of the book to read together.

UNFORTUNATELY: this graphic hardbound novel is like a comic strip version of the novel. DO NOT BUY THIS UNLESS YOU DON'T WANT TO READ THE BOOK PROPERLY. It would be more suitable as a keepsake or extra copy, but the regular text novel is too good to miss. The description here on Amazon was confusing enough to make ME think that this would just be an extra snazzy version of the novel with SOME illustrations thrown in. NO. It's ALL comic strips all the time.

Sorry, but I'm a little miffed at Amazon, NOT the book. A little more information would be nice on these kind of top sellers (at the very least, we could expect that kind of service). As a very loyal amazon user, I am highly displeased at times with the lack of description on some items, and this is the worst thus far.

Summary: Comic Strip Book???
Comment: The story was very interesting but I was shocked to find out this was a comic strip book. I think I would of enjoyed this book more after I read the novel. I felt this book lacked the details in the story. After reading the normal novel, then get this book - you'd enjoy it more.

Summary: Coraline novel on CD
Comment: The CD was an excellent addition to my classroom library. I was reading the novel with a group of my struggling readers, so to have the audio (read by the author with his English accent!) was a great bonus. It really helped my students get inside the book and the characters. The enjoyed hearing the voices of the rats, the mice and other interesting characters in the novel.

Summary: Modern day "Alice in Wonderland" for adults.
Comment: I'm just an adult child at heart and love graphic novels. This one moves to the head of the class. Meet Coraline who has just about anything a child could want but is bored. She discovers a hidden world just next door. Tis similar to her world and yet vastly different and she learns a bit about life. Come join Coraline on her adventure. Perchance you may learn a bit about your life.
