Given that the film has been one of my favourite films since it's release, I thought it was about time that I read the book.
Now that's something I seem to do a lot, enjoy a film and some time later buy the book only to put it on the shelf, rinse and repeat.
Now, I finished reading this last week but got a little preoccupied by other things and forgot to write this, so my apologies.
I really enjoyed this book, there's just something about Gaiman's writing style that I need to keep reading, he truly gives magic to the world around us.
Again, if I ever do film/book comparisons, this would certainly be a part of that series, as there are some differences between these two versions of Stardust, but like in other cases where I'll be extremely disappointed in the film, I don't think the film is a bad adaptation and it really expands the source material.
So if you've enjoyed the movie, you'll love the book.
My copy of Stardust has a couple of extras, including a short story involving a young girl, and what happens to her is something every woman will empathise with, and I just wish that when it happened to me it was as magical an experience. I'm mostly surprised by how well Gaiman wrote the experience.
