A review by booknerd1977
Stardust by Neil Gaiman
3.0
3.25 stars
Overall, I liked the writing style. It is written in style/language of classic fairytales but with occasion surprises (random “f*#k” here and there). Author did a good job interweaving character’s stories. Some people gave negative reviews for gore and sex, but this really didn’t bother me. True fairytales (not Disney ones) are pretty dark, and this book is not a YA or children’s book. My major issues with this book was the pace (slow at times), the fact that Tristran (main character) was frequently annoying, and that I did not believe the romance between Tristran and the star.
