Here's a really nice essay on Coraline: The Annual Back to School Column: Neil Gaiman�s Coraline - Suite101.com. (There may be some spoilers in there for those who haven't read it.)

And an "I Don't Like This" review of Coraline in the Independent at http://enjoyment.independent.co.uk/books/reviews/story.jsp?story=330415. It seems to be warning people against running out and buying first printings of the UK edition, something that's easier said than done these days, as Foyles found when they had to reorder for the signing. On the other hand, it's the first of the "well he used to write comics you know my dears" reviews I've seen for Coraline. (Got lots of them for Neverwhere, fewer for American Gods.)

A fun review aimed at kids and teachers I think at http://www.mrsmad.com/book001556.asp

Bookslut issue 5 is out with a Coraline review over at http://www.bookslut.com/.
