Well, I kinda like the book but I preferred the movie! True, the writing was awesome in the book and I enjoyed reading about Tristran's journey.

This ...I love your opening line and agree totally. This is such an enchanting, engaging reworking of the fairy tale cliches. It is amazing to experience. I think you might be disappointed by the film. I wasn't the first time I saw it but become more distressed about it after watching it again on DVD. It just missed the mark compared to what it could have been.<BR/><BR/>I'm so glad you enjoyed this as much as I did.Carl V.

Not because I wasn't enjoying it. But just because reading books on the computer screen isn't really much of a 'pleasurable' experience. I like to touch my books and hold them in my hands. So I decided to just wait for the library copy. It still isn't on the shelves. It's one of those that is taunting me by always always being checked out. <BR/><BR/>What I read was weird. Really weird. And it was completely different from Stardust. I do want to read it though. Every Gaiman I've picked up has been different from what I've read before. So maybe he's just really diverse in styles. But I do like him. 2008 will probably be THE year of Gaiman.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00793618692608823102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-42428612120067374282008-04-06T19:37:00.000-05:002008-04-06T19:37:00.000-05:00I loved this book when I read it last year for Car...I loved this book when I read it last year for Carl's Once Upon a Time Challenge. It was my wonderful introduction to Neil Gaiman. The movie was fun, but it couldn't match the book for me.

I'm sure it would be great :)<BR/><BR/>I haven't seen the movie, Deslily, while I'm sure it couldn't be as good as the book, I am curious to see it. It's not topping my list at the moment, but one day I'm sure I'll get to it.<BR/><BR/>I'm so busy reading, I rarely get to watch movies. One addiction at a time I suppose. :)Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00793618692608823102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-84409818659471111502008-04-06T16:25:00.000-05:002008-04-06T16:25:00.000-05:00sheesh, you are just flying through these book rev...sheesh, you are just flying through these book reviews!!<BR/><BR/>I read this book last summer, just before the movie came out.
