When Coraline steps through a door to find another house strangely similar to her own (only better), things seem marvelous.

But there's another mother there, and another father, and they want her to stay and be their little girl. They want to change her and never let her go.

Coraline will have to fight with all her wit and courage if she is to save herself and return to her ordinary life.

Coraline is a children's book good enough to be organically read by adults. As it's fairly similar to the movie, I'll cover some not-so-obvious interpretations I had:

Throughout the read I couldn't help but feel like Coraline's other mother was a perfect embodiment of a BPD parent. Aside from the obvious BPD characteristics exhibited by the other mother, I felt the following quote summed everything up beautifully: "It was true: the other mother loved her. But she loved Coraline as a miser loves money, or a dragon love its gold. Int the other mother's button eyes, Coraline knew that she was a possession, nothing more.

Review of 'Coraline' on 'Goodreads'

4 stelle

Lo vedo spesso nei libri per ragazzi, ma forse sarebbe più utile metterlo negli horror. Scritto benissimo con grande capacità descrittiva e grande senso di angoscia in qualche momento. È un libro per ragazzi che hanno da 6 a 99 anni! Gaiman scrive benissimo e questo libro lo dimostra: abilissimo a creare e descrivere mondi porta in vita una storia incredibile. Da leggere una volta nella vita.
