By the cover it would seem that this is another one of Gaiman's famed graphic novels. But instead it's an illustrated novella, spinning a story of three peoples' fate as they try to find the blonde-haired maiden from the night sky. The vibrant illustrations make the story.
An absolutely charming fairy tale with Neil Gaiman's characteristic twists. Stardust draws on traditional fairy tale memes and contorts them into something new, surprising and highly entertaining. The film differed from the source material in many ways and frankly some aspects of the film, especially Robert de Niro's Captain Shakespeare, were brilliant. Nonetheless, the plot is excellent and the characters keep the attention throughout.
