Borrowed this from the library. Simply a masterpiece. Coraline will always be my favorite book and movie, and "The Art of Coraline" was the perfect thing for me. It captured the creepiness and beauty from the other mother: ...

I feel a little bad that all of the reviews for this seem to be for Neil Gaiman's novel, and not for this book that traces the history of the novel and the film based on it. Jones is so enamored of the novel that he might not mind.That is the worst thing about this book: he just gushes about everything. However, without that passion for the material, it would have been hard to get it done. There is some good information in the gushing, but the best feature of the book is the photography from Lai...
Such a fantastic insight into one of my favourite films. It gives equal credit to Gaiman and Selick, and also all the other creators who made the magic of the book come to life on screen.
The best book
Coraline is one of my favorite characters of this stories
Any storyline that is about travelling to another dimension always captures my attention. A story I've fallen in love with in both book and film. I love the balance of both fun and scary. I think Coraline is a very brave and strong character. Everything about this book is enchanting, I was kept engaged throughout.
WOW! This book was amazing! It was great because it's full of suspense mystery and even action! but it also has a moral and it teaches you important lessons about family and friends and how you should never give them up for anything else ever, because they are the best things in life.the story is about a girl named Coraline who loves exploring and one day goes to a different world through a door in her apartment. She then meets 2 people who look exactly like her parents ecxept they have black bu...

It's a thrilling book.It has a lot of adventures and it fascinates me.The pictures in the book are very detailed and give a visual scene for the events that are happening.Loved it a lot.
Nice story a dream within a dream
Like "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," "Coraline" is a tale that was created for a specific child/ children. Neil Gaiman first wrote the tale of Coraline for his daughters. Later, it would be turned into a published tale so that many other children (and adults) could also enjoy it. If you haven't read Gaiman before, you may be a little surprised that a tale for children could be so dark. For some youngsters, it may be too much, too scary. Some adults may even find it more than a little unsettl...
A children’s horror story, remarkable just for that fact. Neil Gaiman brilliantly portrays the naiveness of a child who believes she knows everything and that refuses to give into fear and desperation, showing bravery and character.However it also has some lessons about adulthood and what it means to be human, especially when weighing out the things that are “important” to us. Through the eyesight of a child, who has not yet come to suffer from stress or disbelief, we are able to define the thin...
Unlike "A Wrinkle in Time," this book was very close to the movie. I watched the movie. Not every little detail was the same, but I had different opinions on "A Wrinkle in Time," and "The Art of Coraline."
it was a good scary book nad i wasalways intreaged my favorite part was when sh had to defeat her dad to get realeased by her other mom
it was not so much like the movie but i enjoyed this book
I gave this book 5 stars because I like how detailed it is and it's also creepy

CORALINE, an extremely interesting story, I love it! It has an ending that is not expected.
