This was my first Neil Gaiman book and it definitely want be my last. I listened to this on audiobook and I am so glad I did because it added to the story.

I don't think I would have found it as creepy as I did if I would have read a physical copy of it. The audiobook is narrated by the author who does an amazing job telling the story plus add in the creepy songs it just brought it to life for me.

I think if I would have read this at a younger age I probably would have given it 5 stars but reading it now I picked up on some things that kind of bothered me a little. Like for instance the parents were there but it was like they didn't care. Also Coraline is portrayed as being very brave which isn't a bad thing at all but I think that it was a little unrealistic. There's no way that someone her age would be completely brave all the time without showing she was scared.

This is meant for younger audiences which I think will love it. I also think you can enjoy this as an adult especially if you listen to the audiobook of it.
