5.0
This amazing tribute book is filled to the brim with gorgeous Labyrinth fanart in nearly every style you can imagine. The most intriguing section definitely came at the very end, when the cover artists shared 13 versions of his sketch and walked the reader through its design. Suggestions from the editions were even included. The entire process was simply fascinating.
Comments from the artists were also strewn throughout the book, and reading about their personal connections to the movie, as well as to Jim Henson, David Bowie, and Brain Froud, were incredibly moving. Sometimes I wonder if my obsession with this film borders on the...errr...dark side, so to speak, but here were people who felt the same way I did, whose lives were deeply changed by their experiences, and it was just beautiful to read.
Also, if you own the book, take a close look at the cover, as the artist included a little easter egg. He won't tell you what it is, and neither will I, but if you know the movie well enough, you'll find it, and it's awesome <3
