mehsi's review against another edition

People here might not know it, but I love Tim Burton. His movies are absolutely fantastic and thus I really wanted this book, but I couldn't find it anywhere. Until I went to Amsterdam and found it in great condition in a second-hand bookstore.
I started reading immediately, only to be stopped by my boyfriend since he knows if I start reading I lose track of time and everything around me. :)
So I waited until we had to travel back home. And Oh My Gosh this book is so wonderful, perfectly in style with Tim Burton. It is creepy, gross at times, but also absolutely wow! It is not only text, it also has drawings to complement the prose/stories.
I would surely recommend it to all who love Tim Burton. I am not sure if it will appeal to everyone else, he has a really distinct style and I know from experience that it is not something that everyone will like. It is at least not for the faint-hearted. So be warned, it is a good book, but be sure you can handle it. :)

La obra se encuentra compuesta por 23 poemas ilustrados que nos relatan con melancolía las desventuras de 20 personajes que aunque extraños conmueven, algo usual en el director y en lo cual parece tener maestría: la estructuración de personajes desdichados, nacidos bajo mala estrella y que precisamente de esta cualidad es de donde nos enganchan para quererlos y convertirse en nuestros favoritos.
Cabe mencionar que este libro nos muestra a Burton en su esplendor, recordando cuando nos ofreció historias como “Edward Scissorshands”, Beetlejuice, etc. Sin duda un excelente libro para aquellos seguidores que gustan del trabajo del director.
