Coraline

I'd already watched the movie, and the book is as awesome as I expected. Had a problem with the illustrations of the edition I have (by Chris Riddell), they were meh, nothing in comparison to the beauty and creepiness of Dave McKean's illustrations. I kept a google image page of his Coraline illustrations open while reading the book, they compliment each other perfectly. All in all, I feel like I want to watch the movie again, and read other books by Gaiman (recommendations always welcome).
