Project 365 - Photo #221


I've watched Coraline, an animated movie, based on Neil Gaiman's international bestselling book. Now, I'm reading the book. :)

Synopsis:

Coraline is not the kind of girl to be put off by a sign of danger read in some tea-leaves or indeed a message sent to her by some very talented mice! No, she is the kind of girl who faces a challenge with bravery, intelligence and a lot of determination. Which is just as well because she is going to need all those skills, and more, in this wonderful, spooky tale of a girl caught on the wrong side of a door, with counterfeit parents who have buttons for eyes and who clearly do not intend to set her free. 

Read it if you dare!

In this wickedly scary and brilliantly crafted story, Neil Gaiman has created a compelling novel that fascinates, frightens and surprises all at once. Neil is the bestselling author of American Gods and the hugely successful Sandman comics.

Reviews:

"This book tells a fascinating and disturbing story that frightened me nearly to death." Lemony Snicket

"This is a marvelously strange and scary book... Coraline is the real thing." Philip Pullman

"Splendidly original, weird, and frightening." Diana Wynne Jones

There are slight differences between the book and the animated movie. However, I find both versions intriguing and interesting. :)
