The novel iI chose to read is, Coraline, by Neil Gaiman. I chose to read Coraline because the movie adaption is my favorite to watch. I heard from others who have read the novel that it is somewhat different from the film and in their opinion it is better in ways. That is how I decided to read Coraline, because if people are saying it is better than the film, I might as well give it a shot. As I started Coraline I was surprised by the pace of the book. The very first sentence had mentioned the little door that she would go through, but in the film it wasn’t until after the introduction of the characters and she receives the lookalike doll from Wybie. There is quite a bit that took place in the film, but the book just jumps right into the plot,
