I finally got the keys to my new home at lunchtime today , although I had no sooner stepped in through the door when I had to leave to go and pick up Kiffy from Schiphol.

I am a fan of this guy's movies, I am amazed at how his mind works and love the way he sees things, the book its self is a collection of short observations and ideas in poem form and accompanied by illustrations by Burton (it's all very nightmare before christmassy), the poems focus mainly on children and the dysfunctionality of family and all of them probably...

Ok so this is a kids book but it was really enjoyable, and short. If your not much in to reading I'd suggest you try something like this because it's light and fun and not going to piss you off with any unnecessary faffing about, I love reading kids books and much of the time they are equally as rewarding (if not more so) that adult books because they are created to foster a love of reading, not to be controversial or anything that might put people off, they are not any less intelligent than adult...
