Why did I not have a friend like Coraline when I was growing up. A girl who, though human and momentarily afraid, pushed forth anyway. I'm so happy that of all the movies I watch, I haven't yet seen Coraline. Now I'm off to go watch it and enjoy the story in the film medium. 
 Also, is it just me (this is only my third Gaiman book) but he really loves his doors and black cats. I've noticed them in all three books and I quite love it!
