There are probably a few people who've read this book, seeing as I borrowed it from the family bookshelf. Neil Gaiman seems to be the It guy of fantasy these days, with his name popping up everywhere. Having read this book, I can say that he seems well-deserving of it.
Stardust, to me, had everything a classic fantasy novel should have, with a magical world that is both long ago and far away but with enough here-and-now to give it a sense of timelessness yet also of having taken place not-so-long ago. The villains are appropriately wicked, there are plenty of magical elements, and the plot keeps a brisk pace without leaving out any of the elements that make for a satisfying read. I definitely found it both amusing and engaging!
