A children's book, obviously, but good nonetheless. If I had a kid who was 9 or so, I'd buy it for them. Creepy enough to keep a kid interested without getting too scary. (And now I'm interested in the movie - yes, it was released in the USA back in February, but we're a little behind in Oz and it only just came out here.)This did not turn out to be a good book:
Reading it was like watching paint dry. Holy hell, I just wanted this to end. Disappointing, considering how much I enjoyed Brooklyn. Can't win 'em all, I guess.
I have to admit I've been peeping on your blog for a bit, and love it! (Except for the stuff about the spiders, because that scares the crap out of me. *shudders*)
ReplyDeleteI thought the same about Coraline (the book), though the movie was a little disappointing since some of the creepy touches were removed along with a few other changes.
