Recensione:

Not since four English schoolchildren walked through a wardrobe and discovered the magical land of Narnia has the simple act of opening a door unlocked such a fantastic journey. And not since Alice tumbled down the rabbit hole has that journey been so splendidly strange and frightening...You don t have to be a kid to appreciate the spell Gaiman casts in the suspenseful Coraline. Walk through the door and you ll believe in love, magic, and the power of good over evil. (USA Today)

Gaiman s tale is inventive, scary, thrilling and finally affirmative. Readers young and old will find something to startle them. (Washington Post Book World)

As we used to say, it blew my mind...chilly, finely-wrought prose, a truly weird setting and a fable that taps into our most uncomfortable fears. (Times Educational Supplement)
