Nightmare Before Christmas, Tim Burton's the

It's a fine book and in decent shape but i did not receive the book pictured or described. It is Nightmare Before Christmas but it's a chapter book that I already have not the picture book I was trying to get for my son.

I got my son this book because I thought he would like it, which he did! He liked the pictures alot.

I'm a huge NBC fan & I collect just about everything that is related to it that I can afford. When I discovered that there was a manga version of the movie, I was overjoyed & purchased it immediately. While I did enjoy the manga, I just didn't get the same rush from the book that I did with the movie. I can't quite put my finger on why (apart from the lack of music), since the book is a very faithful adaptation of the movie. Perhaps it's because the book is told more from Sally's POV than Jack's or because the black & white artwork (while beautiful) lacks the colors of the movie. Would I recommend this to a friend? Despite not getting the same rush, I would. It's very well drawn & very faithful to the movie. The plot is very clearly done, so it's possible for someone who's never seen NBC (if such a person exists) to read the manga & know what is going on.

I bought this and read it, and let me say they did a good job taking it from the movie. The drawings were manga but very good manga. Read it!! I promise you won't be sorry you did. ^_^

i love this book! its like watching the movie, but reading it. it takes you back to halloweentown without leaving your house!

This version of Tim Burton's touching story is a delight to read again and again. The vivid words and lines of poetry are exciting, as well as the drawings that show the early version of this story. Any "Nightmare" fan will fall in love with this book!!

How can I, as of this date, be the only one remotely interested in writing a review for books that have to do with the genius, Tim Burton??? Ya' know what? I'm not even going to review this one- I reviewed Burton on Burton... I'm going to simply say that I treasure Mr.Burton's work, and this book is to other books what 'Nightmare' is to other movies- a rare, marvelous treat that should not be missed. Journey with the lonesome Jack Skellington and discover a portion of Tim Burton's marvelous imagination. I get the feeling that if he were'nt such a successful filmmaker, he'd be the new Dr. Seuss
