Review by Kelly Fineman:
Mind you, the Coraline in this version looks nothing like the Coraline on the cover of the original novel* (as drawn by David McKean), nor does she look anything like the Coraline who will be in the forthcoming 3D movie version of the book.* BUT in some ways, I like her all the more for it, because she looks like a real girl, and not like a cartoon(ish) character. Russell even makes Coraline seem to stand a bit taller as the book moves along, and the images of the Other Mother (who likes to sew buttons for eyes, brrrrr**) are decidedly frightening, as they should be.
