i don't think this book is really children's lit but i am shelving it there because reading this book filled me with the wonder of being a child again. That's the best way i can describe this beautiful tale.

I love the book, I love the movie!

Can't help but fall in love with the plot of stardust. It has an amazing perspective of stars and how they are in the book. One awesome imagination right there!

Rounding up from 4.5 because it deserves it. This was a very fantastical story that reminded me somewhat of narnia. It was a short 233 pages and there were a lot of names, and beings, and places mentioned that were hard to reconcile. But I ultimately decided to just let it go and enjoy the story. And that was the right decision. We follow our main character and he grows from boyhood to manhood, the people he meets, and the adventures he has. It was fiercely entertaining and whimsical.

It took me a while to get into this book, but once I did I was smitten. Such a great story, and you have to really pay attention to the intricacies.
