A charming story with Gaiman’s beautifully written style that didn’t grab me so much for me to call a page turner but did charm me when I chose to turn those pages.

Neil Gaiman's writing style for this novel was strange, but oddly charming. It seemed fitting for the book. I thoroughly enjoyed it and am even more glad to note that it didn't ruin the movie for me. I like them both despite the many differences.

The most perfect book about Faerie. I read Stardust exactly once: late summer ‘99, over a week of night shifts at my mom’s old candle shop. “[This book] will not ever be forgotten by me / In the procession of the mighty stars / [Its] name is sung and tattooed now on my heart.” Yes, I just quoted a Tori Amos song. (How could I not?) Here is one of my favorite quotes from the novel:

She says nothing at all, but simply stares upward into the dark sky and watches, with sad eyes, the slow dance of the infinite stars.

A fallen star falls in love with a human man. It’s Gaiman’s answer to Arwen and Aragorn. I’ll say no more. I want you to go forth and read it!

I was sometimes confused when the perspective changed. The others in my book club agreed. Otherwise, it was quite nice and truly felt like a bedtime story for adults.
