A longtime fan of the stop motion movie, this book didn’t disappoint. I loved Coraline’s character and even in the book she comes off as brave and strong. I enjoyed the Beldam and the afterworld!! Especially the door and the way through it, something about it just screams mysterious. It reminds me kind of like  HP Lovecraft when he says we can’t really even describe/think about Chthulu because it is too complex to think about. The other world is something complex that we can’t even grasp and that what makes it perfect. It’s a simple read but the small details make it extra creepy! It’s perfect for a little kid and good for an adult because you pick up on the details. Really good book and really fast read.
