An Ordinary Book By An Extraordinary Writer

Date of Review:  Apr 4, 2005
The Bottom Line: Not bad at all, just not up to the Gaiman-brilliant writing style some readers may have already discovered. A good book to start with if you've never read his work.
Review: There is no denying Neil Gaiman's writing skill. Acclaimed for his Sandman comics and a hilarious collaboration with Terry Pratchett called Good Omens, Gaiman has also won enough awards to make his mantle groan. Hugos, Nebulas and Locus awards are...

Go and Catch a Falling Star...

Date of Review:  May 30, 2001
The Bottom Line: A glorious, well-written fairy-tale for the child inside all of us.
Review: I love fairy-tales. I really do. I love princesses and magic and dragons and fairies and dragons and all of those absolutely wonderful things that you're expected to grow out of by the time you're at least nine or ten. And I tried - but I discovered...

Do You Think You're Under a Spell?

Date of Review:  Jul 5, 2000
Review: Neil Gaiman has a preoccupation with old fairy tales and nursery rhymes. Thankfully, he seems to always realize exactly what each tales needs to make it fresh and interesting again. Such is the case with Stardust (1999), the epic adventure of a man...

Date of Review:  Aug 19, 2004
The Bottom Line: .
Review: This is a review of Neil Gaiman's Stardust without illustrations. While I would someday like to page through the illustrated version, there is something in being able to conjure up images and faces yourself while reading that is lost when you have...

;n: Special Report —; tipu declares war on humanity over Stardust by Gaiman & Vess

Date of Review:  Sep 23, 2001
The Bottom Line: Vintage illustrations by Charles Vess complement Neil Gaiman';s wondrous words in the danger-and-delight-filled adventure of misguided love in Stardust. Recommended to romantics both true and twisted.
Review: ? ? and Hugh Grant rescued from a transvestite prostitute just off Sunset Boulevard; ?I?m giving this up and moving to a Tibetan monastery, good God Almighty!? he declared while thanking police officers.

That was other news. Now back to...

Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star

Date of Review:  Apr 6, 2003
The Bottom Line: A great fantasy tale which invites you to dream... And to fulfill your dreams.
Review: I admit it: I loved everything by Neil Gaiman I've ever read. So far, it's been Neverwhere, Good Omens (with Terry Pratchett) and American Gods. And now, Stardust.

I like Gaiman's dark sense of humor, elegant storytelling, good knowledge...

Stardust - In search of a fallen star

Date of Review:  Mar 15, 2003
The Bottom Line: If you have not read any Neil Gaiman, you should start with this or Smoke and Mirrors.
Review: Last summer, I discovered Neil Gaiman while watching TechTV. He was there to promote American Gods and he seemed like such an interesting person that I decided to look into his work. Long story short, I have almost all of his novels, with Stardust...

In which Officer reads an enchanted tale and becomes happy

Date of Review:  Dec 6, 2000
Review: Before reading Stardust, I was only familiar with Neil Gaiman for two things: The Sandman series from my comic book days, and, more recently, as the guy who penned the English dialog for the American release of the Japanese animated masterpiece...

But Where are the Pictures?

Date of Review:  Oct 14, 2002
The Bottom Line: Entertaining enough to be worth a read, Stardust is nevertheless disappointing and feels fairly slapdash and hastily written.
Review: I'm most familiar with Neil Gaiman's work from my geeky, gawky, goth days back in high school, when I trudged around in hand-painted Cure t-shirts and wrote bad, unrhymed poetry expressing the depths of my teen angst. Back then, his comic books...

Love's labor, lost?

Date of Review:  Apr 23, 2000
Review: "Stardust" is a fantasy novel by Neil Gaiman.

"Stardust" is a classical fantasy tale set on the borderland of the realm of Faerie in the English village of Wall. Wall is so named since the wall to Faerie, and one of the openings in that...
