I would give this 3.5 stars - I love Gaiman's stuff but of all I've read this is the weakest story so far. It's still loads better than a lot of fantasy out there. I'm not a big fan of the 'ordinary lad/lass finds herself in the world of faerie' premise.
Neat story with lovely illustrations. I wonder at it's connection with the novel of the same title?

I saw the movie adaptation of this book a few years back and hated it. Now I can see why because so much of the book was painfully Hollywoodized. But the book is adorable and I somehow wish it was longer. I wanted to linger in that world for just a bit more.
Świetnie się bawiłam czytając te książkę, może gdybym najpierw przeczytała książkę, a potem obejrzała film to ta książka dostałaby nawet 5 gwiazdek, kto wie

I love this book! The language is beautiful, the plot wonderful. I feel sad I am done with it, and wonder why it took me so long to pick the book up.
