This book is so effortlessly vibrant, I could almost taste the air of London Below. The characters are ghoulish and enchanting, humorous and deeply disturbing. An outstanding story.

This book is quaint and quirky in all the ways the Gaiman is known for. This book is delightfully and lushly written, with prose that is just as engaging for a 12yo as a 20yo. Stardust undeniably made my heart warm.
