Stardust by Neil Gaiman

                          Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket.


                                                          Perry Como








Hopelessly in love, a young man promises to bring back a falling star so that he can marry the girl of his dreams.






This, my first Neil Gaiman book, didn't disappoint me. It's imaginative and original and cleverly crafted. Very much a fairy tale for adults. The pages turn themselves.

A few nice twists at the end rounded off a good read. I'm not really a big fantasy fan but I did enjoy this one. It's not quite 5 stars but a solid 4.
