Stardust by Neil Gaiman
I really don't care much for this Gaiman fellow. Too happy and complacent. He writes decently well, but just not my thing. Just a storyteller. No interesting insights at all beyond that. Doesn't seem to have the idea of dystopia in him so much. Find all the gushing about him slightly annoying. Makes me want to be more critical than I'd otherwise be. As I just don't think he remotely deserves such popularity. Suspect the popularity is a largely because it's light happy crap and that's what people seem to want.

Anyway his characters are empty, uninteresting. The world of this one is slightly whimsical I suppose. Plot? Eh.

This one was turned into a movie and I've really typed more than it deserves.
