I liked the illustrations but had expected more from the story as the movie was really good.

One of my all time favorite movies is Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. Unfortunately this is one of those rare cases where I feel the movie is much better than the book. For me the storyline in the book was choppy and did not flow well from one scene to another. I did not think the book in its Manga style was able to capture the essence of the story...or maybe I just missed the Oogie Boogie man singing.

I love Tim Burton, and this is his first book. It is a poetry book, and it is very similar to the movie. All of the illustrations are very simple but wonderful. The only part I was sad about was that Sally was not in the story, I always that she was really good for Jack.

I bought book for my son around Christmas time. He LOVES Nightmare Before Christmas, as do I. Was a bit disappointed how it veered from the movie. My son loved it(probably because of the illustraions)
