Description

In Coraline's family's new flat are twenty-one windows and fourteen doors. Thirteen of the doors open and close. The fourteenth is locked, and on the other side is only a brick wall, until the day Coraline unlocks the door to find a passage to another flat in another house just like her own.

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 electrifyingly creepy tale likely to haunt young readers for many moons." (Publishers Weekly)
"The story is odd, strange, even slightly bizarre, but kids will hang on every word...and they will love being frightened out of their shoes. This is just right for all those requests for a scary book." (School Library Journal)

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.

I completely love this book

Everything Gaiman pens is magick. Coraline is no exception. A children's book - yes. I'm in my late 50s and listened to it twice. Gaiman's narration is outstanding.

A delightful children's horror story

As someone who loves the film version, I wanted to listen to the original to compare and contrast the stories. My impression is that while the main components are the same, this original story is closer to horror lite than the film version, which merely runs into creepy territory.

That said, I liked the book as well as the film and if you're someone who likes scary-ish stories this could be for you. Mr. Gaiman's narration was enjoyable to listen to and the other auditory flourishes throughout the book added to the atmosphere of the story.

*SPOILER WARNING* In the book, Coraline's parents are much less neglectful and dismissive towards her (imho). Bigger differences are that in the book there is no Wyborn character or Coraline doll. And in the film she really enjoys going to the other world the first time time which is why she goes back. She didn't regret going until her second visit. In the book there is no fun first visit, she gets creeped out being there after the first visit and only returns to save her parents.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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...

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!

Dark and Delicious - but not for small children!

Although this is ostensibly a children's book, I would hesitate to let my 10-year-old listen to it because it's really rather disturbing. For anyone older than ten, though, it's a lovely read, and Gaiman's narration adds a great deal. Coraline's dark adventure with the "other" mother is chilling and paced exquisitely. Highly recommended!

Pretty good but...

I didn't enjoy it as much as The Graveyard Book. However, it was creepy and interesting look at how a child would deal with creepiness. It's good if you like Gaiman.
