Touch My Spine Book Reviews

*The Nightmare Before Christmas adapted by: Jun Asuka by: Tim Burton~5 stars*

I want to thank NetGalley and Diamond Book Distributors for providing me with an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Title: Disney Manga Tim Burton’s Nightmare Before Christmas

Adaptor: Jun Asuka

Publication: 9/26/2017

Page Count: 176 Pages

Synopsis: This is an adaptation of Tim Burton’s Nightmare Before Christmas in Manga format.

Jack Skellington is the ruler of Halloween Town and the Pumpkin King. Jack feels down and out about constantly being the spooky king and thrives for a change. When Jack stumbles upon the portal to Christmas Town, Jack gets very excited.

Since Jack has the blues and craves a change, he decides its a great opportunity to steal the real Santa and become the new Spooky Santa. Jack rejoices and spreads the word that he is going to have a Scary Christmas!

Patchwork Doll Sally tries to reason with Jack while crazy Oogie Boogie plots and tries to take over Halloween Town! Will Jack make a sucessful Santa? Will Jack ruin Christmas and lose Halloween Town forever? Read this manga adaptation to find out!

Review: I give this manga 5 out of 5 awesome stars! I have always been a Nightmare Before Christmas fan since childhood. I still watch the movie every year with my kids on Halloween. This was the perfect time of the year to read this manga and made me fall in love with the spirit of Halloween all over again. I highly recommend this book to any fans of the movie! This book is perfect for young people and plan to get this book for my children!😁📚🎃

          I have lots of random impulsive moments. I have 21 tattoos and 13 piercings and most of them are impulsive days! #YOLO so they say!😉😎

            Haha, now I suddenly don’t feel THAT impulsive anymore! I only have five tattoos, but I’m definitely not finished yet. So many ideas that I still want to work out someday. If only it was a bit cheaper..
            When it comes to piercings, I’m just sticking with the ones I have. Although I might add some more in my ears.. But that’s something I’ll see along the way. 😀

              I’d probably barely have any uninked skin left.. Okay, maybe not that extreme but you get the gist, haha. 😀

              Ooooh, god yes! And my legs. I kind of started hating the fact that my legs have no ink yet whatsoever.. Like, when I wear a dress, I want people to see INK. :’D
