Book Log

19. Coraline - Neil Gaiman [24 : 830/1534]
A creepy children's book from Neil Gaiman with a little art from Dave McKean. Also a very quick read :)

Maybe if I read all the childrens books on my list I can meet the goal for the year...

Well Disney made a movie, but it was a very loose adaptation of the book. It was also kind of odd since Black Cauldron wasn't even the first book of the series.

Agreed. But it's something folks may have heard about even if they don't know the author.

It might be a combination of Book of Three (the first in the series) and Black Cauldron, but it was (in the style of Eisner Disney) a terribly loose adaptation, and on a whole not worth the rental fee.

I get the feeling it was a case of one person reading the book, describing it to the Disney crew, and someone else pressing for fluffy characters.
