As a Tim Burton fan, I felt obligated to read this book, but I soon found out that it was so amazing. I believe that I would have loved this book even if I wasnt much of a Burton fan.

Its so funny and so witty. Its also morbid and slightly depressing. But the poetry is quite profound despite titles such as The Girl That Turned into a Bed, and Stick Boy and Match Girl In Love.

I highly recommend it.
