4.0 out of 5 stars Darker then "Phobias;" Superb Pop-Up Engineering, February 5, 2002
By Carol Watkins "Psychiatrist" (Baltimore, MD United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This book follows up the superb collaborative work seen in the Pop Up Book of Phobias. I found that the illustrations in this book affected me more because I have actually had many of these nightmares. The images in thei book are darker and potentially moe disturbing.

The superb paper engineering is quite complex. Richly colored illustrations rise out of the pages in complex moving patterns. The scenes actually change sequentially as you move the pages back and forth.

I suspect that most of us have had several of these nightmares at one time or another. Almost anyone can find something in these nightmares that would strike a responsive chord.

That said, I felt that the text detracted from the artwork. The text is a parody of "Freudian" dream interpretation. In truth, this would not be the way that Freud would have interpreted these types of dreams. I used the Pop Up Book of Phobias with a number of middle school-aged adolescents. However, some of the text in "Nightmares" might make it inappropriate for children under 16.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic coffee table book, March 19, 2004
This is an entertaining book, to say the least. The pop-ups are rather creepy (especially the doll pop-up), but overall this is a unique gift for that special person in your life. Surprisingly, there are tidbits of information on each of the individual Nightmare pages to describe what exactly the dream signifies.

An amusing way to entertain friends and to cover that bare spot on your coffee table. A great gift for the oddball friend.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Pop Up Book of Nightmares, November 6, 2001
By Evie (Belmont, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This new Nightmare Book is absolutely fabulous and very ingenious. I loved his 1st book on Phobias. His new book is so real that it gives my nightmares a reality. Now I don't need to ask my shrink what my dreams are about. I work in a psychiatric hospital and Greenberg's last book sold out (over 150 books). His new book will far outdo the first. Greenberg is really funny and innovative.
Great Job, Gary Greenberg et al.
