    "Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten."
    Coraline opens with a quotation by G.K. Chesterton.
    And, after reading it, I can assure that it is THE fairy tale. Non in the childish meaning of the term, but in the fact that it REALLY teaches us that evils can be beaten.
    Coraline is an amazing book, it's a story that can be read at various levels, since it will make children thrill and adults frighten.
    Maybe it's the shortest novel by Neil, maybe it's children-targeted. Well, who cares? It just DESERVES to be read, whether you're eight or eighty. That's all.

    Looking forward to watching the movie.

    Ps. Sorry for the capital letters, please read them as if they are in italics.

    L'ho letto per vedere se poteva essere adatto per mia figlia di 8 anni, dal momento che alcune sue amichette più grandi lo avevano già letto.
    Ho terminato questo libro in brevissimo tempo, divorato direi, l'ho trovato inquietante e delicato allo stesso tempo. Penso che lo leggeremo insieme, piuttosto che lasciarla da sola nella lettura.

  • I loved it! Well written, engaging and so entertaining. So much more than a simple "children book".
