coraline

This was for some reason the only book so far that i wasn't excited to begin reading. I'm not sure why i think it mainly had to do with the fact that i am not typically a fan of anything disturbing or dark and twisted, which this book definately is! however as i continued to read the book and realized that towards the middle of the book i became more and more interestead in what was going on almost to the point where i didn't want to put the book down. The author created a feeling of suspence throughout the story, and he really had a way of pulling you into the story. although this is not one of my favorite books i cannot say that i didn't take interest in it. However, i still have so many unanswered questions such as what exactly is the other mother? and one for everyone else is did you think that she was genuine at all when she was telling coraline that she wanted her to stay and if so why would she want her there. would she actually be a "daughter" to the other mother or would she simply be another mold of someone.

p.s. i am not the laed blogger but there wasn't one for this week so i thought i would ask some questions! :)

coraline was a strange novel. i have to say i did enjoy reading even though its weird. i kind of find it similar to Narnia just because when she opens the door, it takes her to another world. i just thought it was super strange how dogs eat absolutely nothing, but chocolate...that's something i could go on eating forever! and cats talking? gaiman is very creative to come up with a magical, interesting, and somewhat twisted book.
