Book Review: Coraline

Neil Gaiman really has a way with words. Coraline is such a very short audiobook but nonetheless, Gaiman’s words and how he narrated the whole story still made me shivered with wonder as I listened to it. Just like The Graveyard Book, Coraline is brimming with a creeptastic vibe that will immediately pull you in into the world. Coraline’s setting seemed simplistic at first since the house where Caroline and her parents moved was somewhat normal… the next door neighbours seemed normal, too.

Book Review: The Graveyard Book

It’s not every day that you get to encounter a book that would affect you so deeply that you just want to savor in its quaintness for how many days. The Graveyard Book is one such book wherein Neil Gaiman’s storytelling enhanced the richness of Nobody Owen’s, our little hero, story. Nobody ‘Bod’ Owens grew up and was raised by the ghosts in the graveyard. Bod thought that this was normal as he traipsed around and explored the graveyard as a growing child would normally do. However, his normal life within the compounds of the graveyard was turned upside and…
