This book has some truly amusing poems and stories in it. Morbidly funny! Im a Burton fan, but this surpassed my expectations.

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.

Ghoulishly fun. A sly and sinister book akin to Edward Gorey's gothic alphabet books, full of mad poetry, pithy prose, and silly little drawings. A must for Tim Burton fans.
