The Oyster Boy book is a wonderfully illustrated look into the mind of Tim Burton. The boxed set serves as the perfect gift, regardless of age, while the Voodoo Girl doll completes the orientation of the book: wild, imaginative, creative!

3.0 out of 5 stars Yikes!, June 20, 2006

By	Elizabeth A. Maher (Los Gatos, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Tim Burton's Oyster Boy Book and Voodoo Girl Figure Boxed Set (Tim Burton's Tragic Toys for Girls and Boys) (Hardcover)

Oh my goodness! I bought this book for a little 7 year old girl. She loves "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and "Corpse Bride" - and she loves scary stories and such - so I thought this would be perfect. I gave one to my 11 year old too. Well - that was last Christmas - and just last night (it's now June) my 11 year old decided to read the book. This book is NOT appropriate for a 7 year old or even and 11 year old. There are blatant references to sex. How emabarressing! I have to apologize to the little girl's Mom. They probably read the book six months ago and thought I was a sick-o. So - just a warning - in case you think this is a great gift for a kid - it's not.

If you're a fan of Tim Burton, you'll love this book and the Tragic Toy that comes with it. Great enjoyment for "big kids".
