6-15-09 Stardust by Neil Gaiman – Fiction

4 – Yet another case of saw the movie first and wanted to read the book.  (Just a note: I’m kinda on that kick right now if you hadn’t noticed.)  This is a sweet read.  Sweet, not like “SWEEEEEET!” but like “Awwwww.”  Stardust the book is a simple fairy tale that really does have a great heart to it.  If you’ve seen the movie, you’ll notice it did follow the book very well and the embellishments were completely understandable.  The book is a simpler, truer version.  I would recommend it for most ages; there is one F-bomb, a little violence, and one sex scene (not too graphic) but this is a classic fairy tale written by a modern author.
