Nice book but...

Recensito in Italia 🇮🇹 il 26 febbraio 2016

Original, flowing and full of imagination... however, in comparison to the film, I have found him rather disappointing. I expected more. The character of Iveine is completely different from that brought on the screens and not in a positive way: she is ill-tempered, mournful and insensitive. I generally like the books from which film and tv series are drawn so much more. Till now this is the only case in which the contrary has happened. As far as the link, it should be specified that the ebook is only in english.

bella storia. Gaiman è una sicurezza

Storia avvincente, Gaiman Neil è un gran scrittore e Stardust lo consacra fra i migliori scrittori contemporanei.
Consiglio vivamente l'acquisto e la lettura

Stardust is a great novel, both catching and eerie and so funny... Neil Gaiman really knows how to tell fairytales!

Tristran Thorn would do absolutely anything to win pretty Victoria Forrester's heart. Even venture across The Wall into mysterious Faerie in search of a fallen star.

But once he enters Faerie, strange things begin to happen.

Tristran knows the location of every place in the land. He meets a strange, small man who gives him a candle that allows him to travel great distances. And when he finally finds the fallen star, Tristran discovers that it is not a lump of rock like he thought, but a young woman, who has quite the mind of her own.

Tristran, though, isn't the only one looking for the star. The witch queen and a group of three brothers all want something of it. For these brothers, it's the power she possesses. For the witch, it's her heart.

STARDUST was completely entrancing, charming, and a surprisingly quick read. The star's spunk and Tristran's humanity are both to be admired in this adventurous tale that will make you laugh out loud and break into tears. This is one book not to be missed.

Perchè non c'è in lingua italiana il libro in formato ebook? Il link è ingannevole, il libro è in inglese se preso in formato ebook rispetto ai libri fisici che sono in italiano, correggete !!!

“There was a skyness to the sky and a nowness to the world that he had never seen or felt or realized before.”

I don’t know how to express what I’m feeling now that I’ve finished Stardust.

The writing style is very fanciful, I honestly don’t know how else to explain it. Sometimes the descriptions were so incredible I stopped to read them a few times, but that style carried over into every aspect of the book and in some cases it felt like it took too long for the author to get through a very short scene.

Despite the fact that it felt drawn out I wanted to keep reading. I’m completely torn because I kind of loved it but I also kind of didn’t.

A nice faerie story based in a wee town called Wall. Named so because its surrounded by a wall! No one is allowed out. It is guarded all the time. Beyond the wall is where fairies come from. Tristan is half human half fairie. In the midst of declaring his undying love a star falls from the sky. He is then quested to find the star and bring it back and his hearts desire will come to fruitition. Here is where the adventures begin......
Brilliantly written and a nice wee twist 😉

I do love this story. I love the way it is written, very much like an old type of fairy tale. It transported me instantly into its world and i literaally finished it within a day. The language is sublime. Yet i prefer the film. Unusuhal for me but i watched the film first and the book and film are strikingly different.
I much prefer the emotion in the film and as much as i liked the book it is painfully emotionless.
The star and Tristran just seem to suddenly decide to be together, you just have to imagine that they built up a relationship with no help from the author. Whereas the film uses their time on the air ship to bring the characters together.
And although i do like the peaceful ending with the 'evil' witch, it did seem a little rushed and unsatisfying. And again, a huge lack of emotion. A total disregard for his newly discovered mother and his father left behind the wall.
Rarely do I ever say a film is better than its novel, but in this case it's simple true. I loved the magic in the film. So much that i named my son Trystan. Anyway, book or film, this is a story that has touched my heart and the most enjoyable fairytale ive discovered :) x

Beautifully story, written by a wonderful storyteller

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 15 settembre 2018

I loved this story. I loved the film when it came out, not realising it was a book. The basic story is the same (ish) but the book has more detail and depth. The moral line behind it, from my view, is respect and kindness. It's fantasy made it interesting and exciting, it's themes, thought provoking and its characters intriguing.
There were things that bothered me, and the main reason I gave 4 stars and not 5, the book isn't all that long, I felt like the characters had more to tell, but then, my imagination is still thinking about them 2 days on, so maybe that's the intention, who knows. Either way, I thoroughly enjoyed it, and would definitely recommend it to any, particularly those that enjoy fantasy.

A wonderful masterpiece of a story. And it differs from the book in a significant number of points. So if you have watched the movie first, there are a few differences in the book. Personally, I liked most of them.

Beautifully written..!
