Stardust

Quote

“There’s never been a true war that wasn’t fought between two sets of people who were certain they were in the right. The really dangerous people believe they are doing whatever they are doing solely and only because it is without question the right thing to do. And that is what makes them dangerous.”

-Neil Gaiman

The Stardust has a cast of colorful characters, including the Narrator, who tells the story; Tristran, the young man who falls in love with the star; Yvaine, the star who falls in love with Tristran; and Captain Shakespeare, the sky pirate who tries to capture Yvaine. The feature content includes a mix of live action and animation, as well as special effects.

Many of Neil Gaiman’s characters are based on mythological figures or are otherwise otherworldly, so they might not relate well to characters in more realistic books. However, some of his more down-to-earth characters, like Shadow in “American Gods” or Richard Mayhew in “Neverwhere” could potentially relate to characters in other books set in the real world.

The Stardust is a story about a young man who leaves his small town in England to find a fallen star in order to win the heart of the girl he loves. Along the way, he encounters many obstacles, including an evil witch, a band of robbers, and a dragon. Despite the danger, he persists and eventually finds the star. The story is full of magic and adventure, and Neil Gaiman’s writing is beautiful and lyrical. The characters are well-developed and the plot is engaging. The Stardust is a delightful read that will leave you wishing for more.
