IT'S FIVE STARS, OF COURSE!!! Coraline is probably the scariest and one of the best books ever, but the creepiness in this book was really mysterious. Ever since Coraline entered the door, the "other" mother seemed suspicious, and she was definetely doing something to get ahold of Coraline. The "other" world created by the "other" mother is definetely a really good scary-effect to this novel. Just when the "other" parents offered Coraline to sew black-button eyes, that was when it started to make you suspicious and want to stick with the book until the very last page. Even the cat added the spooky effects. At first, Coraline feels like the "other" world was just marvelous, until she discovers the other mother haunting her. But the other mother was much more worse than she seemed; and even ate the innocent childrens' souls. In conclusion, it was a really good book.
It's an interesting book and a fairly engaging. I thought the storytelling was a little disjointed, though (jumped back and forth among different events in Andrew Jackson's presidency). It was hard to follow at times. He also spent an inordinate amount of time on the Eaton affair compared to issues such as slavery and Indian removal, which could have gotten more complete treatment.
A stunning achievement in capturing both a period and the minds in one of America's heydays
Brilliant loved it!
I really enjoyed this. I read it in 1965 or 1966 when I was 12 and home sick with the flu for a week. Reading this book is a lot of what I did that week. Unfortunately, the two seem to be forever associated. But at the time felt I learned a lot about Michelangelo as an artist, and about how artists learned and worked back then.
OK, goof for what it was - kind of a sappy love story.
