I used the last of my B&N gift card from Christmas on some Neil Gaiman books, and I picked up Coraline. Some spoilers ahead. I was told that it was actually creepier than the film, but I would have to disagree; I think it was the visuals, as well as the story line, that really creeped me out in the movie (though some of the illustrations were very odd, to say the least). I was really surprised to see that Wybie was not a character in the books, considering he had such a large role in the film. Coraline's mother also seemed less frigid than the film mother, so Coraline only going through the door once voluntarily made sense. The film version made her seem almost as if the mother was emotionally negligent towards Coraline. I enjoyed it, though. Loved the cat, and in the book the neighbor characters did not creep me out nearly as much as they did in the film XD
