really interesting reading more about the genius of Tim Burton. Having the chance to deepen my knowledge about some of his works I adore the most was really great. It is defenitely a book to buy and have in the bookshelf.

This book is a wonderful coffee table book with beautiful photos in it. This would make a great gift for any Tim Burton fan.
Loved this mini dive into Burton and his work. I learned a lot. And I've always been a fan of his movies.
'Tim Burton' gives a close look at the famous filmmaker's creative mind. It traces Burton's journey from his start as a Disney animator to becoming a hugely successful director. The book examines the ideas and experiences that shaped his visual style. Nathan blends Burton's personal life and professional triumphs to paint a compelling portrait of a unique artist. Whether you're a big Burton fan or just interested in filmmaking, this book is worth reading.
I've been a Tim Burton fan before I could even know who he was. I really enjoyed learning more about his life and his inspirations. This was very well written and enjoyable.
As a fan of Tim Burton's films, it was great to be able to read this book. It has really nice pictures and I liked learning behind the scenes information about his movies. I think this would be great for even casual Burton fans.
I LOVE I LOVE I LOVE I LOVED IT. I don’t think I can say it enough how much I enjoy it! Can’t wait to see where it goes
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the eARC in exchange for a honest review.
This is a good addition to Tim Burton fans. It will be a great coffee table book.
Dislike having to read in the netgalley app as formatting isn’t easily read.
My thoughts: Thank you to @iannathanwriter and @netgalley for the advanced reader copy of this wonderful biography.
I absolutely adored reading about Tim Burtons life and work and the influences behind some of the greatest movies of all time.
I am huge fan of Edward Scissorhands, The Corpse’s Bride and the real-life recreation of Alice in Wonderland - so these were some of the highlights for me. However it was also so fascinating to read about movies I may not have watched or come across before
The images in the book were absolutely beautiful and a real snapshot into Tim Burton’s life through photographs.
An all round excellent non-fiction read and I would highly recommend to all fans of media and film especially.
Did not finish book. Stopped at 18%.
I didn’t like the format. The ARC I received was only available to read on the NetGalley app and because it’s more of a coffee table book it was very difficult to read on my phone. I found it too frustrating to really enjoy.
Honestly, the book was really interesting, but I couldn’t enjoy it because of the format.
It is an awsome book, for any fan of Tim Burton this is the perfect book.
Thanks Netgalley and Ian Nathan for giving me a copy of this book.
As a big fan of Tim Burton and his work, I was very excited to read this.
By far the best part of the book was the pictures. There were pictures of all his different projects including ones behind the scenes. It was so interesting learning a bit about his childhood. I also really liked how the book was broken into sections to examine his different projects. Tim Burton is one of a kind and his creativity is just beyond. I loved learning more about him and all his various movies.
Thank you to Quarto Publishing Group – White Lion | White Lion Publishing for a free advanced copy for my honest review.
Thank you to NetGalley for Tim Burton by Ian Nathan.
As a long-term Tim Burton fan, I really enjoyed this book. It had some wonderful artwork (Tim is superb), and would make a really great conversation starter book- the kind that belongs on a coffee table or a side table.
As a big fan of both Tim Burton's classics and newer work, I couldn't wait to get my hands on this gorgeous volume.
You start at Tim's suburban childhood and early career as a misunderstood animator with Disney, where his concept art and ideas ended up being vaulted rather than used (fun fact - this included the idea for The Nightmare Before Christmas!). The book then takes you on the sets of his first hits and acclaimed classics where the term "burtonesque" was established, and more recent ventures with mixed reactions such as Dumbo and Wednesday.
A relatively short and easy to read volume, Tim Burton - The Iconic Filmmaker and His Work makes for an excellent gift for a fan, and a beautiful coffee table book to have in any film enjoyer's collection.
✨ Disclaimer ✨ I received a free copy of this book and this is my honest review.
Exceptional! The print was a little small for me to read extensively, but the photographs!!!
Multiple photographs representative of each of his films as well as of those films (old and original) and particular actors (Vincent Price leads the pack) that are his inspirations. Extravagant and extraordinarily imaginative!
I requested and received a free temporary EARC on Adobe Digital Editions from Quarto Publishing Group – White Lion | White Lion Publishing via NetGalley. Thank you!
