Title: Not Gaimen's Coraline
Product review: I read the book first, and it is much better than the movie. I don't know why the movie made the parents so mean. In the book, they work from home, but they aren't hateful to her when she asks questions. There are also several unnecessary changes that make the story less interesting. Why change the painting over the fireplace and then make it less interesting? Why does the other dad play piano? The other parents are creepy because they are always waiting for Coraline and don't seem to have any other purpose but to give her their undivided attention, which makes them very creepy when you realize they are always watching her and waiting, but you don't know what they are waiting to do. Coraline is suspicious of the other parents right away and everything is darker in the other world. The movie has none of the sense of setting and foreboding of the book.Read the book if you want a more interesting and scary story.
