Review by Ray (301103) Rating (8/10) Review
by Ray This book has got the lot, an evil mum, a talking cat, ghosts and mad old ladies. A recipe for an amusing, yet chilling story where the good guys, in this case a little girl, win but not without making you think that it’s not going to be all that easy. Coraline as a central character is a well-rounded individual and has a matter of fact view on life. If I was her parent and I had a little window into how she interpreted the world around her I'd be very scared… It's a short book and even I read it in one sitting. Kids will love this book. It has got the right kind of scary things and the old good vs. evil angle that kids like. They can identify with Coraline and adults reading this book (like me... honest) would appreciate the finer points of the story.
As Pratchett himself writes on the back cover, you'll never think
of buttons in the same way again... |
