“You really don’t understand, do you?” she said. “I don’t want whatever I want. Nobody does. Not really. What kind of fun would it be if I just got everything I ever wanted? Just like that, and it didn’t mean anything. What then?”

I remember reading this book for the first time as a child and being super creeped out by the horrific things that appear throughout this book. Now as an adult I'm not as creeped out but it's still very unsettling. Overall, this was a fun and ghostly adventure story about a little girl named Coraline showing us that being scared and doing what is necessary anyway is bravery, and that it's good to appreciate the ordinary and boring sometimes.
