Big Fish

'Big Fish', directed by Tim Burton and starring Jessica Lange, Billy Crudup, Albert Finney, Helena Bonham-Carter and Danny DeVito, is the feel-good movie of the summer.

In his prime, Edward Bloom was an extraordinary man. Or at least that's what he told his son, William, who, faced with the prospect of his father's death, sets about discovering who is father really was.

'Big Fish' is the life of Edward Bloom, told as a series of legends and myths inspired by the few facts that his son knows. Through these tall tales - hilarious and wrenching, tender and outrageous - William begins to understand his elusive father's great feats, and his great failings.

This utterly original novel teaches us about myth-making and joke-telling, truth and redemption, death and life. Big Fish. Big Stuff.
