<B>Coraline</B> was an excellent read. Neil has written a children's book that's deliciously creepy and terrifying. The writing style is simple (for children) but at turns brilliant in its simplicity. Coraline is an excellent heroine. You'll tear through this, and then turn on all the lights in your home.

came across this pot of James' whilst I was looking for something else and as I know it was one of the books that made the poll for discussion and I have just read it thought I would bring it back to the front and bung it in the books forum biggrin.gif

Just to add my agreement of what James wrote, It is a fine book and up there with others I have read of his and is deliciously creepy too

I was the one who suggested it, hehe. I loved this book, its delightfully creepy! I love the cat and just how everything is so simple but scary.
We should do a discussion of this one, hehe

Read it! Its awesome. Gaiman is such a good writer. I love the stuff that he does. The book is so creepy, yet wonderful at the same time. I read on IMDB that Henry Selick is going to direct the film adaptation. That should be something spectacular. The guy who did Nightmare Before Christmas meets Neil Gaiman's writing! I can't wait to see it.
