"How do I know you'll keep your word?" asked Coraline.
"I swear it," said the other mother. "I swear it on my own mother's grave."
"Does she have a grave?" asked Coraline.
"Oh yes," said the other mother. "I put her in there myself. And when I found her trying to crawl out, I put her back."

The only thing you have to decide is what to do with time that is given to you.
Mot Friedrich Nietzsces valgsprog: Lev farlig! har jeg alltid med ubønnhørlig konsekvens satt Bernhard Borges ord: Lev koselig!
Boken som innledet den neste store kjærligheten etter Harry Potter-bøkene. Dette er fremtiden. En herlig serie som er umulig å forklare på ti ord.
The novel is set in two neighbouring fictional countries: To the south lies Ancelstierre, which has a technology level and society similar to that of early-20th century England, and to the north lies the Old Kingdom, where magic works and dangerous spirits roam the land — a fact officially denied by the government of Ancelstierre and disbelieved by most of Ancelstierre's inhabitants. (Those who live near the border know the truth of it, especially on days when the wind is blowing out of the Old Kingdom.) These dangerous spirits range from undead corpses known as Dead Hands to supernatural beings known as Free Magic elementals.
These living Dead are raised by Necromancers, or black magicians, who roam the Old Kingdom or live in Death, using Hands to do their bidding. To remedy the problem of dangerous, living dead, there is always a sorcerer with the title of Abhorsen, who is essentially a Necromancer himself (or herself), only in the reverse; he puts the dead to rest. At the time of Sabriel, it is her father, Terciel, who has the job of controlling the endless dead creatures doing evil deeds around the Wall, especially difficult since a new evil seems to be rising.
When the current Abhorsen is overcome by one such evil, he sends his bells and sword to his daughter Sabriel, who is being raised in an Ancelstierre school, out of reach of those who might try to strike at her father through her. She must return to the Old Kingdom to rescue her father and prevent the evil's return.

Jeg har lest dem. Det er lettlest serie, men en blir bare gladere og gladere i personene. Verdt å ha med seg på en strand.
Enten er denne boken undervurdert, eller rett og slett ikke nok lest. Kanskje Erlend Loe i visse tilfeller tas for gitt? Det er uhyggelig vanskelig å skrive så bra, og så morsomt, om så vanskelige ting som er på ferde i Muleum.
Synes at historien drives framover. Enkelt språk. Kjekke sommerlektyre
