| Re: What Did You Just Finish? Stardust, by Neil Gaimen.
Fantasy about a young boy who lives in the town of wall, so named because of the wall which seperates his village from another, which is guarded, so that no man may cross unless it is at the time of the fair, which occurs every 7 years. When he sees a shotting star falls, he crosses the wall to find it, in order to win the hand of his beloved, into a land of strange people and things. Cue stars, witches, and general odbods.
Definitely worth a read, and quite different from the film, and much more enojyable. Its easy to read and get lost in - I finished it in a couple of days. Its clever, funny, and a magical tale for grown ups. I love the way he writes, and its encouraged me to find more of his stuff.
5/5.
