Stardust

Interesting story with characters who are mixtures of good and evil.

Neil Gaiman spins a fantastic tale in this fantasy story that reads at times both like an adult and a children's book. It's a very interesting story, especially seeing how each little subplot ties into the ending. Definitely read this if you like fantasy!

Of course the book is better than the movie. But the movie is still really adorable and I'll never stop wanting to watch it.

I suppose I should start by admitting that Neil Gaiman and I are never on the same page, no matter what book I have open before me.

Be that as it may, _Stardust_ is innovative in its particulars but dull and predictable in its overall plot arc and themes. The characters are fine, but not sparkling. _Stardust_ is an easy read, but not one that will stay with you.

I really wasn't quite sure what to expect when I started reading this book, but it turned out to be a really interesting--and charming--read.

This is not a book for children, though at times it reads like one. If you like authors and books that do unexpected things with traditional genres then you'll probably like this book. I did.
