I wished that my daughter, now a college student (and a Gaiman fan too!) was with me and that we could enjoy it together as a read-aloud like those we shared so many times while she was growing up.

Summary: In the sleepy English town of Wall, a young man named Tristran Thorn seeks out a fallen star to bring back to his true love, only to discover that the star is a beautiful young lady--at least in the land of Faerie, where she fell.
The story of Stardust is a fairy tale in both meanings of the phrase: the story takes place primarily in the realms of Faerie (as promised on the book cover), and the story is told in a simple, sing-song style, with little attention paid to realism or cohesion.
Stardust is never really that gripping, but, despite its flaws, it is pleasant enough to merit a read.

This new understanding of the link between organic, reproducing matter and the gas and dust of the spheres is what excites the astrophysicist and acclaimed science writer John Gribbin in his latest book, Stardust.
But that unsolved mystery does not prevent him concluding that, if the ingredients for organic molecules are universal, and if the same physical forces - spinning, squeezing, falling -- exist throughout the universe, then life must exist elsewhere, perhaps (a big perhaps, this) in a form recognisable to us.
The book ends with Gribbin's dizzying speculation that there is not one universe but many, evolving all the time from fl holes (overweight, collapsed stars).

Stardust is an utterly charming fairy tale in the tradition of The Princess Bride and The Neverending Story.
"Stardust" is stuffed with stock fairy tale creatures who have been blown loose from their moorings and brought to life in the most wildly imaginative way.
Although the conclusion was a bit of a groaner, this is a fairy tale, albeit of the adult variety, and inevitably borrows from the genre's various components (indeed, the novel's underlying structure and chronology eerily subscribe to Propp's tenets in the "Morphology of the Folktale").
