  “Creepy is right. I found myself saying "huh?" sometimes. I wouldn't reccomend this book for kids unless they like bug eating "other mothers".”

  “Neil Gaiman always makes such a good start. And then fails miserably in the execution and details.”

  “A young girl finds a door to the other side, and must save herself and her parents from the consequences. Not sure if this is a replacement for "Alice in Wonderland" as suggested, but a good Gaiman fairy tale.”

  “This is a creepy little tale. It has that wonderful darkness in it that I so appreciated in Roald Dahl's books. i'm a huge fan of Neil Gaiman and hope that he writes more in this genre. The button eyes of the other mother showed up in my dreams for weeks after I had finished the book, and I'm 30. Probably not a great choice for younger children, if you want them to sleep well at night.”

  “i really liked how dark this book was... i just recently read alice in wonderland and through the looking glass... so this story felt familiar to me... lewis carroll's story can be strange at some points, but gaiman takes strange to a whole new level... like stardust, i might say this is more YA than for children. i am interested to see what they do with the movie... i am kind of afraid they will make it more cartoon-y...
  good book!”

  “This was a read-aloud with the kids a few years ago and we all loved it. Gaiman has written a great, creepy tale here and I hope he revisits the young-adult genre again so my family can share another one like this.
  
  You'll never look at buttons the same way again...”

  “When reading this book, many words come into mind: creepy, imaginative, strange, buttons... The book is almost like a twist on Alice and Wonderland, except dark and gloomy. Not recommended for young adults who don't like horror books because it made me scared of buttons for a week! I loved it, and I wish there were more books like Coraline! A very unique book indeed.”

  “Definitely a creepy book. Interesting story. Great imagination.
  I am interesting on how it works out as an animated film.”
