Coraline

Coraline, which you all know is a semi-new movie, was also an amazing book. It used to be my favorite book back in third and fourth grade. 
I haven't seen the movie yet, but the book is wonderfully creepy.
The author, Neil Gaiman, at first describes a magical, seemingly perfect world, that by the end of the book would give me chills. 
People with buttons for eyes, singing rats, and the delicious image of the Other Mother extracting a key from her throat never fail to give me the good chills. 
After reading this delightful book, I can't wait to see the movie, especially since it is directed by Henry Selick. He directed my favorite movie, "The Nightmare Before Christmas."
If you haven't read the book yet, it's great even though it's short. 

Please comment about the book!

    The movie looks kind of creepy. It looks like the guy who made "Nightmare Before Christmas"(I saw it in 3-D, how cool!!) made "Coraline".
