5.0 out of 5 stars Sick, filth, 20 Jul 2004
By Mr. Christopher Allan "oscar_joe" (Yorkshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is sick, bitter and twisted. What kind of mind conjures such abnormal chilren as these? I'll tell you - a very funny one.
I bought this for my son after it was recommended on the back of another purchase I was making and we love it. On first reading we had tears in our eyes, and on 2nd and third........

4.0 out of 5 stars Funny yet Twisted, 1 Jul 2004
By A Customer
The stories are psycho, bizarre, horrible, twisted, warped AND FUNNY!!!!
Many times I laughed and then as I turned the page I became shocked at the outcome! Very creative & certainly creepy.

Covers many issues including shock therapy, murder and, well, pretty much these are the re-curring themes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heh Heh Heh, 19 May 2005
Anyone who is thinking of buying this book should double check the title, the artwork etc. The clues are all there!

For those unsure let me expalin, This is a sick little book for sick little puppies!!!

It is also the most hilariously evil and twisted thing i have ever had the extreme pleaure to read. Yes it will offend the more genteel minded reader but for those who find themselves worn down by the awful crap that they hear in the news each day this is a spiteful, cruel but ultimatley harmless book.

Certainly it is not the sort of book that would appeal to everyones taste but please do not allow the previos review to put you off if you are a liberal reader who is not easily shocked and is in possesion of a naughtily nasty sense of humour there are a large number of truly wicked laughs to be had here. And if you don't feel guilty for laughing - you should!!!

I wholeheartedly urge the adventourous reader to buy and enjoy. The others I suggest should not. Simple!

1.0 out of 5 stars Burton and Gorey fanatics steer clear
I quite liked the premise for this book being a fan of both the sublime Edward Gorey and his modern day equivalent Tim Burton...so I ordered the book. What a disappointment. Read more
