Coraline: One Man's Journey into the Heart of Modern China

This review is for the Coraline graphic novel that is illustrated by P. Craig Russell. I haven't read the other edition of coraline but I can say this edition is very beautiful. I love the way the complete story is drawn. The paper quality of the book is very excellent. The cover page illustration is amazing & the design too. On the cover page the bat ,Coraline and the title (CORALINE) is glossy but the BACKGROUND is of matte finish which is very pleasing to eye and very attractive. I got this during discount at an amazing price of RS 586/-. The story about a girl name Coraline and her journey that begin after she shift to a new place with her parents. The book I got was brand new and was packed securely.

Clean spooky story with great sketches. Suitable for 10 plus kids. Bought for my 7 year old son. But I think it will be too scary for him. Will show it to him after a few years. I Read it. Loved it.

Loved it

The storyline is interesting but not very gripping. Not one of the bests works of Neil Gaman

Un cómic muy sencillo de leer y quizá aún mejor que la película (teniendo en cuenta que la peli viene de este cómic). Me ha gustado mucho. Quizá no lo recomendaría para niños de menos de 10-12 años.

. . .but it held my interest and I quite enjoyed it! Indeed, Neil Gaiman is again “spot-on” with a tale of an adventuresome young girl who, moving with her parents into a multi-unit apartment building, finds a secret passage to another though eerily similar life. All the characters - the good and the ‘bad,’ are fascinating (their personations depending on which end of the passage you find them is really quite marvelous. All that said, however, I must offer my greatest praise to P. Craig Russell for his truly wonderful illustrations that served to give “life” to the story itself. This collaboration between author and illustrator is a grand one, and I’m so glad that an ordering “mistake” (on my part) put this colourful and quite delightful book in my hands.

I really enjoyed reading this graphic novel - its strongest point is the plot - i was lost in Caroline’s world and i think i need to read it again to get all the symbology

Ich liebe das Werk! Zunächst war ich enttäuscht. Ich habe nicht wahrgenommen, dass es sich nicht um eine deutschsprachige Ausgabe handelt. Sprachlich ist es jedoch gut zu verstehen. Ich bin tief in die düstere Handlung eingetaucht. Story und Darstellung verwoben sich wunderbar. Danach wurde ich neugierig auf den Film, der jedoch Schrott ist.

I read this when I was younger and I bought it again for nostalgic reasons. Forgot how great it is and I finished it within an hour, maybe even less. So, good and creepy. Love it.
