Coraline
22 journalers for this copy...
It is a paperback edition with 162 pages.
About the story: Coraline has recently moved with her preoccupied parents into a flat in an old house. The neighbors above and below are odd but friendly: Mr. Bobo trains mice; elderly Misses Spink and Forcible serve her tea and tell her fortune. No one lives in the flat next door. But Coraline knows better, and one evening she discovers what's there: a tantalizing alternate world, filled with toys and food (unlike any of the boring stuff she has at home) and weird-- though wonderfully attentive--parents, who happen to have black button eyes sewn on with dark thread....
***
I liked it, but not as much as "The Graveyard book". It is a weird story, but not more. It was not scary, creepy at all - for me.
~~ I offered it for a BookRay ... Now it is Finished! Yay!!! ~~

Journal Entry 6 by Cassiopeia22 from Hamburg - Wilhelmsburg, Hamburg Germany on Tuesday, June 23, 2009
The book arrived here savely on thursday. Sorry, but I didn´t have the chance to make a journal entry yet. I think I will start reading it very soon and will let you know how I liked it.
Journal Entry 7 by Cassiopeia22 from Hamburg - Wilhelmsburg, Hamburg Germany on Sunday, July 5, 2009
I finished the book a few days ago. I loved it. It was so creepy, I wonder if some kids can cope with it. On the other hand kids are often underestimated. I mean, the buttons... I as a grown up was a bit scared. I liked the story and the wonderful ideas of Gaiman.
I´ll send the book on tomorrow. Thanks for sharing!
I´ll send the book on tomorrow. Thanks for sharing!
Arrived today - precisely when I finished Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell (a novel which is highly praised by Gaiman). Very convenient ^__^
Thanks for sharing and forwarding, hakkalina and Cassiopeia!
Thanks for sharing and forwarding, hakkalina and Cassiopeia!
Once upon a time (in other words seven years ago) Neil Gaiman strolled through Apple Market where he would have lunch with his editor in half an hour. Yet there was time enough to have a look at the stalls, maybe he would find a stuffed animal or a musical box with a tiny, dancing fairy for his little daughter Holly. But then his gaze was attracted by a strange doll, half hidden under a green, yellow-spotted octopus and a big giraffe with a limp neck, where the stuffing had trickled out through a hole. Gaiman pulled at the doll to examine it more closely. It was hand-made and clumsy, the kind of doll little girls sew together in their needlework classes. A somewhat mocking smile was stitched into the round face, its hair made of black wool-threads and the dress, once red, had faded into a yellowish salmon-pink. Its eyes were two big, black buttons. Very peculiar and somewhat ... eerie?
Gaiman held the doll at arm's lenghth and shook it a bit that the fuzzy hair swirled around. «Button eyes, indeed», he mumbled to himself and grinned for the sheer pun of it. He had a short flash of an eye-surgery wherein the cornea would be replaced by black buttons. In another flash he saw contact lenses in the shape of bulging buttons with four neat holes in the middle, and he tittered again. Would Holly think of it as funny as he did? «How much?» he eventually asked.
The vendor, a punkish girl with sun glasses, a bright red pixie cut and a too big leather jacket had watched him the whole time. The ugly doll was actually one of her white elephants. Not only she was not able to sell it ever since it came into her possession some months ago - the last time when she tried to dispose of it for 25 cents, the customer had seen the ink stains on the dress and immediately refused. Now Gaiman wanted it ... whadda weirdo! (She had of course at once recognized the famous author)
«Ah», she smiled boldly, «the magical doll! Uh ... you know, this rare, handcrafted piece of vintage belonged my aunt when she was a little girl. It saved her life! That is to say, she once went with her mother to visit London, and on the way back, at the bus terminal, she discovered that she had forgotten her doll in the last shop; and she forced her mother to return yonder (by fits of crying). They went back and missed the bus - and learned only later that the same bus had a horrible accident wherein the driver and 12 passengers died. Therefore this ever was the magical doll. I really shouldn't sell it, you know ...» She sighed, took the puppet out of Gaiman's hands and tenderly stroked its untidy mane.
Gaiman could already see the price climb. But since he always liked unexpected stories, he just waited with what else the pixie-punk would come up. «Her name is Caroline», she promptly ranted on. «And Caroline tells stories if you still have sharp enough ears. Well, at least she told me stories when I was younger ... But watch her! Isn't she the most vivid story herself? Hmm ...», another sigh. «Well ... maybe I would part with her for ... um ... a tenner?»
There. This was already getting pathetic. Gaiman was about to withdraw when the girl held the doll to her ear and pretended to listen intently. «Just now Caroline told me that she likes you», she beamed. «She adores "Neverwhere", and she would love to become the magical doll in your house! So that's all a different case then ... of course I'd give you a bargain, say ... for eight pounds? But do not think cheap of her, will you?»
Now it was Gaiman's turn to sigh. He would have to leave the country, the sooner the better. He hoped that she would not want to have an autograph or shove some sheets into his hands and urge for his opinion of her poems. He glanced at his watch and smiled apologetically. «Um ...», he muttered, groping in his pockets, «this was a remarkable display of barter skills.» He found a pound, tossed it on the counter and was about to go. «Wait», shouted the girl and waved with the doll, «you forgot Caroline!».
Actually Gaiman wasn't thus keen anymore (he'd have to carry this junk!), but he grabbed it nevertheless, smiled his thanks and fled. Therefore he missed to see that the girl had removed her sunglasses and was staring after him with two shining, black buttons ...
(Sorry, I couldn't resist ;)
Gaiman derived a nice story from this encounter, but somehow ... I don't know. I wasn't surprised, not really. The button eyes didn't frighten me. I felt neither the «shiver down my spine» nor the promised «delicate horror».
The heroine is contradictory and a bit a mystery to me (bored children being since ever beyond my comprehension). If Coraline is such an alert girl, why does she fall for stupid tasks as «count all blue things»? But the worst is «Coraline's Story» which she writes at father's computer ... and which is at the level of a seven years old. Duh. The teenager Coraline looks pretty moronic there.
On the other hand ... there are funny dialogs and charming bits like the mouse circus or the dog's theatre. I love the nameless cat and the lesbian neighbours Forcible and Spink. Well ... maybe I just read too many praising reviews in advance. Perhaps I simply was repelled by those abominable illustrations ... After all, the story isn't bad. Though a bit sketchy, but not bad at all.
It would be interesting to know what children think about this tale. Especially the matter of rescueing the own parents - an oddly distorted situation for a child. Can you ever have faith again into grown ups who are weaker than yourself?

thanks for letting me participate in the Ring. Was intrigued as I had seen the preview to the movie which scared me quite a bit. Started reading the book two nights ago and had weird dreams the first night but not on the second when I finished the story. I enjoyed the book but do find it a bit sketchy at times; the author had a good idea but didn't follow through and leaves the reader a bit lost about the whys of the story. Never mind, not every book is perfect.
Will be sending it on to Chich.

This was an ok read but definitely not as good as other Neil Gaiman novels. I liked the idea behind the book but didn't find the story scary at all and thought that it lacked originality.
Thanks for sharing anyway hakkalina!
I've already PMed Tsjara for his/her address and the book will be on its way ASAP.

Arrived here safely yesterday. Thanks Chich for sending, and hakkalina for organizing this ring! I look forward to reading this one :)
Finished this a few days ago and quite enjoyed it. I didn't find it very scary, though the hand did give me the creeps :p (and some of the drawings too..). I liked the cat, he was quite funny in his arrogant sort of way. Oh and the mouse circus too :)
The book somehow reminded me of stories I had read as a kid, not sure which or why (I did love scary stories when I was little).
I have PMed Magika for her address, but haven't received a reply yet.
Edit 28/09: Magika already has a copy of her own, so will PM the next participant.

Recieved in the post today! I am really looking forward to reading this, I just have to finish the book I am halfway through first
Thankyou for sharing
edit to add:
I just realised I never did a JE of my thoughts about this book - sorry!
I enjoyed it, the first piece by Gaimen i've read. I thought the story was interesting and nicely told. It reminded me alot of Terry Pratchett's writing for children, so its not surprising that they ended up collabarating on a book together

I wanted to start reading some Neil Gaimen books as I've seen them pop up as recommendations on Amazon everytime I log in so I thought where better to start than the book that was turned into a film. I actually quite enjoyed the story although it's obviously aimed more at children. I thought that the whole concept was well thought out and the plot was quite enjoyable. I loved the way the world dissolved as she got closer to solving the mystery I think that worked very well.
Thank you for sharing!

I've been wondering if this book will ever reach my door! Now it has! Can't wait to start, but have other bookrings/rays to deal with first, I'm reading as much as I can so I shouldn't be too long, will contact next person in line now!
I've just finished this, I really enjoyed it, much to my surprise, and I am interested in watching the film, but the rest of my family don't want to, I plan on buying this book to pass around my family to try and interest them into watching the film, I so hope it will work!
I'm pretty ill with the flu at the moment, I should feel better by next week, and so shall send it out then hopefully!

It was simply wonderful and I loved the little creepy drawings throughout. It was slightly chiling at first but soon delved more into the fantastical. Thank you for sharing.

I finished the book three weeks ago. A lovely story, but also rather creepy, but our fairy tales were not always so friendly, eaten by a wolf and poisoned by a witch.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
On its way to Dutch-book.
It has arrived at my place last week.
I've just read it. Unfortunately it wasn't as fairytale-ish as I hoped. Not as scary as I hoped. But liked it though.
Arrived safely today on a cold, damp and miserable winter's day. I've nearly finished reading 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory / Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator' to my daughter. I think this will be next! The only problem is, I fall asleep when I'm reading out loud, and I don't want to miss any of this, so I'll have to do my best to stay awake. Sometimes I wake up startled and catch myself saying a random word or phrase which has nothing to do with the book at all;-)
It was probably a mistake to read 'Coraline' out loud to my daughter. Not only did it take far too long because we don't seem to get round to reading together very often any more, but I tend to drop off to sleep while I'm reading to her! The idea of the story was rather creepy, but reading it like we did, the suspense didn't really build up, and my memories of the book are very vague. In this case I suspect that the film was probably better than the book, as they undoubtedly fleshed the story out more. Once again, my sincere apologies to Hakkalina for stalling the book for such a long time, and sorry to the people who were stuck after me, waiting for the book to be sent on.

Thank you, grovalskii, the book arrived around few weeks back. I've just been way too busy all December to journal it. It actually travelled to Kouvola with me for Christmas but I didn't have time to even take it out from my bag...
I'm in the middle of one book at the moment but will read this one right after that. :)

Finally! Thank you so much for the ring, I'm sorry it took me a while. Couldn't find much time for reading due to my hectic work and long days but I made it. :)
I liked it. I have to say I felt a bit too adult to read it, probably couldn't find my inner child, but still it was quite good. Not as super as I expected.
I will mail the book forward as soon as I get the address.

I read the book in our new home after the move and although I'm living only with my husband and our dog, I think I could relate quite well to Coraline. The story seems to have been written for children, but I wonder if it isn't the children's parents who are targeted. Coraline doesn't make a good bedtime story :D Of the style of writing I have to say that it reminded me a lot of Neverwhere, except the gaps weren't filled in writing but left to imagination.

‘Stole’ this in the ‘steal or reveal’ game played at the UNCON in Northampton. Have never read it, nor seen the movie, and not sure if it’ll be scary for me... but I’m willing to give it a try!
