Stardust

I have always disliked the movie, but a lot of people like it, so I figured I would read the book. This is my first Gaiman book that I've read, and to my surprise, this book worked much better for me than the movie. This is a fairytale, plain and simple. It knows its place and doesn't try to do more.

Admittedly my disdain for the film adaptation may have been that I didn't fully understand that this is a fairytale for adults. Perhaps I will give the film another chance.

This book still isn't exactly what I want to read, but ultimately, it's not a horrible book.
