Review
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Amateurish and lackingBy C BakerIm working on a research project on Burton and have read virtually every book out there. This book is the weakest Ive come across so far; it is extremely redundant and poorly written. Page misspelled Edgar Allan Poes name SEVERAL times within the first few pages of the book. Furthermore; some of the information regarding Burtons bio and filmography is inaccurate; and Page makes several untenable assessments that he tries to pass off as fact. I gave this book two stars because Page admits that this project was undertaken as a fan; so Ive adjusted my expectations of the book accordingly. It relies rather heavily on the book Burton on Burton and draws from many other sources so much so that it offers no new or original contributions to the discussion of Burtons work. Save your money and buy Burton on Burton or Tim Burton (Virgin Film) by Smith and MatthewsEDIT: I wish I would have read Book-o-philes review before buying this book! As you can see; we have very similar reactions.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Finally; a GOOD book on Tim Burton!!!By Gwen ProctorFirst off; I loved being able to get a glimpse at Tims childhood. I can certainly identify with being an outsider even within ones own family!!!I got to see a review/behind-the-scenes look of every film that Burton had produced and/or directed at the time that this book was published.Put simply; this is a true diamond-in-the-rough!(My favorite films of the ones mentioned in this book: "Edward Scissorhands"; "James and the Giant Peach"; "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory"; and "Corpse Bride")2 of 10 people found the following review helpful. Tim Burton is a Genius; butBy S. WilliamsI really wish this book had ummm....color. Not that the black and white doesnt truly reflect the mood or atmosphere Burton tries to evoke. It is quite apprpriate; but I wanted to see...I dont know...more.The book did arrive in a timely manner and I leave kudos to the seller...but still.
