Stardust

[Easter Lily]

sept's only two weeks away

And it may be a graphic novel, not a 'real' novel. I jsut shortened it cause i was too lazy to type it out

More like four weeks but now probably more like three... But who's counting?

I'd love to see it... it looks quite lovely and whimsical.

Ta... I asked only because my local library will probably not have graphic novels lying around the shelves.
Sounds lovely though.

You should check with them- a lot of libraries are starting to buy graphic novels- mine has quite an excellent collection, but they're quite popular, so I usually end up having to put requests for them, rather than finding them on the shelves.

Stardust was the first thing by him that I read (I think I just picked it out off the shelf at the library one day), and I absolutely loved it right from the beginning, but as you say about American Gods.....that book floored me, it's probably my favourite book that I've ever read, and automatically made him my favourite author. It is such a brilliant piece of work, and after that I was desperate to read everything else he's written.

Yea, definately. I'm going to read 'Good Omens' next. Read the first page or two, sounds very interesting....

Good Omens is one of the five books on my "If you were stranded..." list.

I really enjoyed this movie (didn't even know it was a novel until I read this thread). I loved the fairy tale, adventure story! I thought the special effects were really cool as well. My eight year old loved it, though she did get scared in one part. I couldn't believe how well Michelle Pfeiffer played a bad witch!

Our school library also has a graphic novel section. The librarians try to purchase things the students will check out and read, cause at least they're reading! LOL

I enjoyed this movie very much. From the romantic side to the fantasy side of it. Robert DeNiro was excellent, and Claire Danes is always one of my favorite actresses, it's nice to see her in something again. Michelle Phifer did a great job too, I for one will buy this movie when it comes out, and it will stay in my DVD player for quite some time!

I LOVED it...
I've waited so long to see it and I really enjoyed every moment.

All these nice looking boys... sigh... Inspector Lynley included...

Just got to see the movie the other day. On the whole I really enjoyed but to be honest I don't like the way in which they portrayed the captains character. Adding that 'extra' dimension to the character was totally unneccessary and quite frankly derogatory, expecially for this day and age. That said, it was a very good adaptation of the book and I enjoyed the extra parts at the end

I did imagine the Stormhold Tower to be a lot taller thought....

Really looking forward to seeing Stardust, haven't read the book, I usually read books after seeing the movie.

I loved it.

I never read the book. I may now that I've read Deathly Hallows 3 times.

Like I said, I loved it all. I haven't thought of anything I hated about the film. It was a nice breath of fresh air. Of cousre, I laughed the hardest when Robert DiNero danced around.

I'm waiting impatiently for the DVD to get released . . .
