Editorial Reviews

Stomp of Approval
Are you taken with the twisted tales of Edward Gorey? Do you delight in the off-kilter visions of Tim Burton? Well my brothers and sisters, have I got a book for you....Each story is a dark comic gem, sparkling with demented charm.

    Great and funny

    Angus Oblong is a funny dude, this book is fantastic. Ostentatiously weird and morbid, with wonderful, simple line drawings. Aside to mad mom: Maybe not for a nine year old, but it's fine for a thirteen year old. My thirteen year old and I both loved this book.

    well, DUH!

    Rather than being a children's book (which I think this listing should clear up... hint hint, I can empathize with the reviewer below) this is definitely for older teens to adult readers. It's HILARIOUS, it's violent, it's crude and it's like what Jhonen Vasquez dreams about. But, like the woman below me apparently didn't get, it is NOT for kids. Never intended for them. If you've got a wicked sense of humor and you're over 13 years old, sure, buy it. Just keep it out of your ''mad mom''s sight for the next five years.

    NOT FOR CHILDREN!!

    I don't know how I got the wrong idea about this book, but it is definitely NOT for middle aged children it would be rated NC17 if it were a movie. The 'F' word appears on page 100, the ideas are disgusting, and just pereverted. Somehow when I was shopping on the B&N website, I was made to feel it was a 'fun-creepy' read for the Halloween season for my 9 & 13 yr olds...NOT!!! it's trash, and I plan to return it immediately.
