SUCH AN AMAZING BOOK! Coraline by Neil Gaiman is one of my favorite books ever. I had to re-read it before the movie came out on Feb. 6th. The book is so unique and vivid. Almost too scary to read but too good to ever put down. I almost question the sanity of my 4th grade teacher who read it out loud to us. The imagery both mental and the original art is gorgeously horrifying. Coraline is insightful, brave, and normal as you or me(what am I saying I'm not normal). The creative characters from the talking cats, the devious other mice/rats to the other mother's good right hand.
SEMI-SPOILER!
When the other mother steals Coraline's mother and father and the souls of past children Coraline makes a bargain and begins a hunt for them. Other mother can't let her win and pulls out all the stops the world tearing itself up against Coraline. Coraline is brave, I aspire to be her, and she's younger than me.
About Me
- Joan (kitty)
- I guess I am me isn't quite descriptive enough but that is almost the best I can do. I'm not a fan of summarizing people (or characters) in a few sentences because really no one is so simple that they can be completely outlined so quickly I always feel you miss something. Breaking my own views though I will tell you a tiny glimpse of who I am. I am a costumer (ie. someone who makes/wears costumes) and I am a daughter. I'm a sister with three brothers both big and, well yeah, even my younger brothers are almost taller than me. I don't look at all like my family who all look a completely different ethnicity than me, they even have different bone structures then me (I'm convinced I was switched at birth). I also am a film editor, a writer, and more commonly a reader and a friend. There. That's the best i can do to summarize myself in a short bit that wasn't very short. Wow, thanks for reading that.
