PattyMacDotComma | 3299 comments Neil Gaiman has been in the news recently for all the wrong reasons (for him, that is), and Goodreads disallowed posting of this review for a couple of weeks. Presumably the trolling (or whatever) has died down, because I was able to post it today.
Coraline by Neil Gaiman Coraline is a bright, inquisitive young girl living in a house that has another magical half with what appears to be another family - hers?! Spooky story for kids and an enjoyable read for adults.

My review of "Coraline" is here:

2. Manga Classics Sherlock Holmes Vol. 1 A Study in Scarlet
Manga Classics Sherlock Holmes Vol. 1 A Study in Scarlet (Manga Classics Sherlock Holmes) by Arthur Conan Doyle
Sherlock and Watson simply don't look like they are supposed to in this manga version of Sherlock's first novel. But the rest is excellent.
