So I was poking around Neil Gaiman's website and came across an entry in his FAQ about Coraline. *
He was asked whether or not Coraline was a kids' book. He answered that it goes in the same pile as Harry Potter and Lemony Snickets. Basically kids and adults take away different impressions or more precisely:
"As a general sort of rule, kids seem to read it as an adventure. Adults get nightmares."
This sounds interesting.
*What is Coraline? "Coraline is the scary book for strange little girls (of all ages and genders) which comes out late summer next year in the US and the UK (from HarperCollins in the US and Bloomsbury in the UK). "
