I've read this book several times and was very excited to say the least when I learned that they made a movie. Tim Burton completely ruined it. It was so far off the book that they shouldn't have used the title. Horrible horrible horrible. I was so pissed off that if I ever run into Tim Burton in going to give him a piece of my mind. If you liked the book as I did, you'll hate the movie. What a shame... I want my $ back
