El joven Tristan Thorn está dispuesto a hacer cualquier cosa para conquistar el frío corazón de su amada Victoría, incluso a prometerle que le conseguirá la estrella que ambos ven caer una noche. Para cumplir su palabra, Tristán deberá cruzar el muro que separa su pueblo del País de las Hadas, un vasto territorio donde nada se parece a lo que él ha conocido, donde ni siquiera las estrellas tienen forma de estrella y donde los duendes y los espectros campan a sus anchas. En ese mágico lugar, el joven no sólo hará cambiar su futuro, sino que también descubrirá cosas de su pasado que no podía imaginar. Con la ayuda de un unicornio, un barco pirata que surca el cielo, un árbol muy sabio y una florecita de cristal... ¿conseguirá Tristan el amor de su dama? / Gaiman, author of a Neverwhere and the graphic novel series ""The Sandman,"" has created an original and well-written fairy tale.

Stardust in my heart

Read this a while ago, and the story is still fresh in my mind Every time I read it, I have such a a great visit to the town of Wall and behind the wall. There is magic in this story. I have yet to find a Neil GAiman book I dislike- and his style is so varied. I actually am a fan of the movie as well, and followed Gaiman's adventures in script writing and movie making from his blog.

charming fairy tale

I'd started reading this one years ago, then put it down for some reason, and my daughter picked it up. She's nagged me on and off ever since to read it.

Stardust is a fairy tale, with all that implies. There's an impossible quest, true love, things that aren't what they seem, and the triumph of Good and cleverness over Evil.

Tristran Thorn, the product of a human father and, unbeknownst to him, a fairy mother, ventures into Faerie to capture a fallen star and bring it back to win his true love Victoria. He finds the star, which turns out to be in the form of a girl. He encounters a variety of obstacles, including a witch who wants the star's heart to restore her youth and a set of brothers who take sibling rivalry to new heights, who'll stop at nothing to get the jewel the star has with her.

There's really not much more to say. If you liked fairy tales as a child, you'll like Stardust. It's charming and evokes the wonder and excitement of those childhood tales without being condescending or overly sentimental or sweet.

Not the movie

This is one of the few times that I actually prefer a movie to the book. I appreciate the author's writing and enjoy his clever ideas, however I like the plot structure of the movie much more than the book.
