Thank you. I've only read Coraline but that was enough. I thought it was a rather amateurish plot with mediocre writing and I'm still stunned that this little book (and I do mean little) made such a splash. It quite frankly stopped me from ready any of Gaiman's other books.

But 'Yoopies'??? I'm a Yooper who took a long time getting comfortable with that word, since I was born in the UP long before someone at the Free Press came up with it in a Sunday Magazine story, but now it's who we are and I thought everyone knew that!
