That said, I like reading your reviews Teresa! You point out things I usually miss, and it all wraps up into a big ball of feministy awesome. That sentence would've probably made more sense if I didn't eat all those powdered donuts. Ah well, I'm leaving it as is.

I actually liked him at first. I liked that Coraline didn't like him (moving blues) and that the Other Wybie couldn't talk. And how he tried to help Coraline and paid for it. And how because of that she began to appreciate Wybie more in the real world.

What I didn't like is that he EFFING RUSHED IN AND SAVED CORALINE'S LIFE LIKE SHE WAS A DAMSEL IN EFFING DISTRESS AT THE END.

One of my favorite parts of the book was that Coraline figured out and laid out a plan to get rid of the Other Mother's hand. And it played out beautifully in the book. So I felt a bit cheated when all of that was thrown away so that Wybie could save Coraline. I mean, I get it. I get that his last minute heroics was to prove that he believed Coraline about all that Other World stuff. But why WHY did it have to be done like that? ARGH.
