Coraline

This is a children's novel by Neil Gaiman. I only read it because I think it was the last of his novels that I hadn't read.

If Stardust was a version of Tom Jones, then Coraline is a version of Alice in Wonderland. It is very creative and eerie, staying with Gaiman's usual style, but is, of course, rather restricted by being a novel for children.

Overall, a good read if you have a spare afternoon and don't want a challenge.
