Easily my favourite of the Gaiman I've read so far - I think his style works much better when he's not trying to be overly pretentious and involve too much philosophising in his work.

I bought this book under the praise and adulation that Gaiman seems to get from...well...everyone.In reality, the book was poorly written, a little boring, and very confusing. I was under the impression it was for YA or kids, but yet had multiple instances of profanity, semi-graphic sex scenes, and ...

I have to say, I like this version of Yvaine better than Claire Danes'.

I ordered the hardback of this book after reading about it - and what the publisher wanted to do in a hardcover version.

Se siente bastante floja durante todo el libro, las cosas que parecen importantes de repente dejan de serlo en un instante. El autor se clava en las descripciones de luga...

This book is simply beautiful. I loved it from the bottom of my heart.I've always been a fan of fairy tales, and Gaiman's view on them is, at least for me, breath-taking. I loved the way he described the landscapes, the emotions, how he set everything into action and how even the smallest details fi...

I loved the movie, so I picked up this book (the Charles Vess illustrated version) from the library and read through it. The art was so nice to look at and the writing style was impeccable. Neil Gaiman offers many clever quips about Tristran's journey - and, in effect, the journey of many characters...

Stardust follows the adventure of one Tristran Thorn from his unusual birth through to his eventual marriage. Well this is a modern fairytale for older audiences after all. He desires to win the love of one girl called Victoria whom he names the most beautiful of all. And to win her love he must hun...
