Coraline is a graphic novel adaptation of the novel penned by Neil Gaiman. The story follows a common theme in his works of the naive, yet determined everyman who stumbles into an alternate reality. The protagonist arises in the form of a young girl named Coraline.
I found the dialogue to be smartly written and the narrative engaging. The artwork, while typical comic fare, set the visual mood quite well. I greatly enjoyed this story. I found the characters likeable and believable in the context of the story, which itself seemed to me as an odd metaphor for "growing up".
I cannot recommend this enough to fans of Neil Gaiman's work or someone looking for something different and thoughtful.
