Bloomsbury presents Coraline by Neil Gaiman, read by Dawn French.

When Coraline moves with her parents to a new house she is fascinated by the fact that their 'house' is infact only half of the house! Divided in to flats years before there is a brick wall behind a door where once there was a corridor and one day it is corridor again down which the intrepid Coraline wanders. And so a nightmare-ish mystery begins that takes Coraline in to the arms of counterfeit parents and a life that isn't quite right. Can Coraline get out? Can she find her real parents? Will life ever be the same again?©2002 Neil Gaiman (P)2002 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Literature & Fiction Scary Stories Science Fiction & Fantasy Scary

Critic reviews

‘I think this book will nudge ALICE IN WONDERLAND out of its niche at last. It is the most splendidly original, weird, and frightening book I have read, and yet full of things children will love'
‘This book will send a shiver down your spine, out through your shoes and into a taxi to the airport. It has the delicate horror of the finest fairy tales, and it is a masterpiece. And you will never think about buttons in quite the same way again'
‘Beautiful and haunting ... A master modern fable'

The film is colourful, while having a creepy undertone, before getting quite dark. I'd never read the book though.
Dawn French is great to listen to (she was also a voice in the movie). As it's a kids book, the language and writing style isn't terribly creative. There are a lot of ....."she/he said" after someone speaks for example.
However, it's short so definitely worth a listen!

Loved the film so ....

I liked the movie and have a friend who loves Gaimans books so we decided to listen to it together. Dawn French was a perfect pick and gives life to the story. It is beautifully written and translated well into audiobook form. A short one but a good one nonetheless. Would recommend.

Really good.
