A review by danijoy
Stardust by Neil Gaiman

4.0

This is such a quaint, beautiful piece of storytelling. I can imagine reading this book to my future children as I tuck them into bed. I did, however, find that it took me a bit to get into the story. As an adult reading the book for the first time, I found the decisions and actions of the characters to be nonsensical. But by the latter half and especially the final chapters of the book, I realized what this story is (from my perspective): a telling of what it’s like to transition from adolescence to adulthood (with a bit of magic thrown in).
