Not with kids under 10, anyway....actually flying with anyone under 5 is an adventure!<br /><br />Booklogged: so if you read The Graveyard Book and I read Sandman, we'll be caught up and can then say we've read all his best work! I think you have an unfair advantage, Graveyard Book is one books, and there are 20? + volumes of Sandman?!<br /><br />Kim: I know, isn't that great that we got to the book first?! I hardly ever do. And we've read an award winner! <br /><br />See my post today. And I didn't see it in 3-D, but I don't mind! It's still excellent.<br /><br />Book pusher: see my post today. It's still scary as a movie, which I am delighted by. I'm really curious how The Graveyard Book would translate to the screen. I've found many adults - like us! - who find Coraline as scary as kids do. That button-eye mother...<br /><br />Nymeth: I saw your remark on Chris's blog, so I know how happy you are too! I think he got tweeted too by Amanda, if I read it correctly. As for the Sandman, you ALL have convinced me, and I'm now trying to find volume one. I don't think I've had so many people writing to tell me I had to try it! lolSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145452263098688113.post-13584490947720475532009-08-13T15:49:51.377-04:002009-08-13T15:49:51.377-04:00I was happy for Neil too :D And yes, you need to t...I was happy for Neil too :D And yes, you need to try The Sandman!

I also think that Coraline is a more frightening book than The Graveyard book, both books are wonderful works though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145452263098688113.post-38224806857838015962009-08-12T22:45:23.246-04:002009-08-12T22:45:23.246-04:00I love the Graveyard Book and I'm pumped for a...I love the Graveyard Book and I'm pumped for all the awards it has won. I actually read a Hugo and Newbery award-winning book before it won the awards! Yay! <br /><br />On a side note, Coraline is fabulous. I think they did an awesome job of bringing it to life on screen. I even got to see it in 3-D!Kim Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15024112944002002232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145452263098688113.post-34565779186918151102009-08-12T17:30:59.056-04:002009-08-12T17:30:59.056-04:00My two favorites of Gaiman's are Sandman and C...My two favorites of Gaiman's are Sandman and Coraline.

I've started looking...so many editions out! I'm hoping our library will have one, so I can begin with that.<br /><br />I'm considering renting Coraline for this afternoon - I'm home with the kids for the week on holiday, and we're having a 'staycation' - I'm so trendy! lol And I want to see it, because enough time has passed since reading the book that I can see the movie without interfering too much with my private vision of it - which is very dark and scary! those bright lights and animation was never how I saw the book....so I think I can now. I'll let you know! You would never lie to me! Dangerous question, though! lol<br /><br />Debi: Okay, okay, between you and Nymeth and Chris and Bride and Stephanie!!! lol I'm looking for the first book of Sandman now!!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145452263098688113.post-59368100049200957582009-08-12T09:30:36.031-04:002009-08-12T09:30:36.031-04:00You'll love The Sandman.
