Fascinating. If you are a dedicated Tim Burton fan, this book is incredible. Even if you just like him, it is great. Written by the man himself, you can't get more truthful than this.

Full review when I read this in depth.

I read this for an essay I’m writing on Burton as a film student. Some parts I found insightful but overall I seemed to be a lot of Burton talking without really saying much. Really my issue is with Burton himself, I struggled to get though this cuz Burton is so boring and poorly spoken. If you’re reading this as a fan of his work I’m sure it’ll be really fun but I found it frustrating. I read it to try find a deeper meaning to his work but it seem in most cases there isn’t any.

Fun BTS view of Burton's work but it's not so much a book on Burton, as it's about his films. And Johnny Depp. Nothing wrong with that, just puttin' it out there.

Also, Burton had nothing to do with The Addams Family from 1991.
I am shook.
I always thought that was a Burton movie, kinda like Nightmare before Christmas, where he's involved but not as a director. (could have googled it, I know, but I'm not that much of a google-er if I'm convinced that I'm right.)
