Histoire
In casa di Coraline ci sono tredici porte che permettono di entrare e uscire da stanze e corridoi. Ma ce n'è anche un'altra, la quattordicesima, che dà su un muro di mattoni. Cosa ci sarà oltre quella porta? Un giorno Coraline scopre che al di là della porta si apre un corridoio scuro, e alla fine del corridoio c'è una casa identica alla sua, con una donna identica a sua madre. O quasi.

Histoire
A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a funeral. He is drawn to the farm at the end of the road, where, when he was seven, he encountered a most remarkable girl, Lettie Hempstock. Forty years earlier, a man committed suicide in a stolen car at this farm at the end of the road. Like a fuse on a firework, his death lit a touchpaper and resonated in unimaginable ways. The darkness was unleashed, something scary and thoroughly incomprehensible to a little boy. And Lettie - magical, comforting, wise beyond her years - promised to protect him, no matter what.

Coraline er en blanding af moderne eventyr og gåsehudsfremkaldende gyser. Bogen er stramt komponeret og fyldt med en elementær og foruroligende spænding, der river barnet med fra første side. Bogens mange betydningslag og tolkningsmuligheder har fået amerikanske kritiker og forfattere til at lovprise bogen og sammenligne den med Narnia og Alice i eventyrland.

Histoire
Neil Gaiman has long been inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction. Now he turns his attention back to the source, presenting a bravura rendition of the great northern tales. In Norse Mythology, Gaiman fashions primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds; delves into the exploits of the deities, dwarves, and giants; and culminates in Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods and the rebirth of a new time and people.

Description
Only it's different...
At first, things seem marvelous in the other flat. The food is better. The toy box is filled with wind-up angels that flutter around the bedroom. But there's another mother, and another father, and they want Coraline to stay with them and be their little girl. They want to change her and never let her go.
Other children are trapped there as well, lost souls behind the mirrors. Coraline is their only hope of rescue. She will have to fight with all her wits if she is to save the lost children, her ordinary life, and herself.

An experience I'll probably never forget.
I definitely was not expecting of how much I would enjoy this experience I just lived. I already got the opportunity to read and experience Coraline's journey to save her parents and herself in two adaptations, the movie and the comic book (which is more faithful to the original text), and I guess I still can't get bored of reading, or in that case, listening to this wonderful, dark and fantatic story that Neil Gaiman put out to the word.
I am a immigrant new to Canada coming from Brazil, and even tho I consider my english to be at least pretty decent, I still struggle sometimes to understand what some folks say to me, so I knew I needed to train my listening skills. And because I recently watched Neil Gaiman's MasterClass, I was craving to experience more of his stories, so it was just perfect when I found this app and realized how many of Neil's works are in here! With it, I was able to realize both my wishes!
I picked Coraline to be the first book to listen because I was a little afraid to ruin the experience of a story that I never read with my not so great english listening skill, but now that I finished, I just realized how much I was able to understand! Sure, I still don't understand 100%, so I do need more practice, but still it was such a amazing and relaxing time I had while I listened to this! I was so lucky for the 3 days that I casually listened to the story to be just slightly rainy and foggy, which fits so perfectly with the feel of the book in a way that I was able to just keep myself completely immersed in the story no matter where I was and what I was doing!
And what I can tell about Neil's perfect, warm and magical narration of his own work? It still feels like a dream to have the author himself to read you his book, almost like if he was telling a bed story for you before you feel sleep in a deep dream. I know it sounds weird and exaggerated (after all it's just a 4h long audio I just downloaded) but this is the best I can describe the feelling of listening to this audiobook!
And when I finished it, I just couldn't help myself but to keep a big smile on my face for a long time, just like Coraline while listening to the sounds and music of the mice circus on the end of the summer...
Now this becomes a great memory that I will keep close to my heart forever and that I'll probably never forget.

Always loved the Coraline story
I've always been a huge fan of the Coraline story and have seen the movie multiple times. I thought it was time I read the original book. I especially enjoyed the fact it was narrated by the original author.

Love this tale
At first I was intrigued when the movie first came out. I only watched the movie when I turned 19 years old. I was delightfully surprised of how it turned out to be. I finally had the courage to open the book and download the audible to illustrate the original version. I love it.

Scary, but interesting for both adults and kids
My family listened to this book on the way back from vacation. The group consisted of my mother (62), myself (42) and my two sons (9 and 11). This story, as is typical of Neil Gaiman, was atmospheric, lyrical and always imaginative. My mother, who can be a talker, didn't interrupt the story even once. But, the story, which is about a girl's parents who are kidnapped by a fairy tale type character and replaced with strange reproductions, is pretty dark, and scary enough that my 9 year old asked if we could turn it off for a while at one point. Of course, the next time we got into the car, he wanted to hear the rest, so although frightening, it is still an involving story. So, if you have a particularly sensitive child, I would be careful with this book, but otherwise, I highly recommend it.

THE. BEST. SCARY TALE FOR ALL AGES!
Coraline TERRIFIED me when I was little and borrowing it from the library (because the cover was so cool!) and I had nightmares for weeks but TOTALLY WORTH IT!!! As an adult, it still sends chills up my spine, especially with Neil Gaiman's unmatched performance of his wholly unique horror thriller children's book the likes of which I haven't come across before or since! ELEVEN STARS!!

i liked the movie better....
Any additional comments?
this is very rare of me to acknowledge that the movie version is better than the book, the earlier chapters seemed a bit boring honestly and Coraline seemed like an emotionless girl to me even when she met the other mother for the first time, it is not until she went beck to free her parents that it felt like Niel Gaiman book. to be honest Henry Selick did a great job altering the story a bit for his movie, his version seemed creepier and scarier than the book. But it is always great to hear Niel narrate a book.

Creepy Fun
I love a story that doesn't take a month to get to the point. And a thriller that gets to it is even better.
If I'm going to be creeped out, I need to really care about the character, so generally a book needs to spend some time introducing you and explaining why you like the protagonist. It's easier to do that if the protagonist is a child. Young enough that you can immediately like them and want them to win, but old enough that they aren't completely helpless (making their victory unbelievable). Gaiman has done this, and done it well.
Coraline is a nice girl. Too bad about creepy reflections of her parents that want to adopt her now that her real parents have gone missing.
The audio is fantastic. The singing rats were creepy. I loved the song that opened the reading. Kind of wished there was more to it.

Very Entertaining
I purchased this book for a weekend car trip with my teenagers and was worried that this book would be too childish for them. There was no need to worry. This book is quirky enough to draw kids and adults.
After Harry Potter, it is hard to find characters and worlds and books that are fun. This book gives me hope that there are many fine gems out there waiting to be found.
We did not find this book as scarey as some of the reviewers warned about. The book was strange without being too scarey.

A DEAD SPIDER THE SIZE OF A SMALL CAT
I'M YOUR OTHER MOTHER
I agree with audible addict, I question the age for this story and performance. This will cause nightmares in younger children. Once you get past that, this is a great scary, adventure story. A dark Narnia and Alice in Wonderland. Listen by yourself before sharing with younger ones, but don't ignore it, it is very entertaining.

Lovely Descriptive Words
I listened to this book because I love the lovely descriptive words in it, not so much the story.

So good I read it first!
I bought this book for my 13 year old daughter, and decided to read it first so that I could make sure it wasn't too scary, and so that we could talk about it. Even though I was on vacation, I couldn't put it down. Wonderfully spooky and evocative -- and delightfully scary (but not too scary). Now I have the audiobook for my daughter, and other kids in the family. By the way, she really liked it too!

My favourite book
Such an interesting story. I enjoy a lot of things about it. I love that it takes place in an old victorian house. I love all the quirky characters. The other world and mother is very creepy. The themes are thought provoking. Great storyline!

So Creepy!
Thank goodness for the British and their love of scaring the pants off of little kids. This book is CREEPY. It's very odd, as well. People compare it to "Alice in Wonderland" with good reason. The imagery is just as vivid, and the language just as good. However, I found Coraline to be much more disturbing. The things that happen about two hours in are disturbing enough to me as a 26 year old woman that I would strongly hesitate to give it to any child under 10, and that only for children who have never been afraid of the dark, or of rats...
