I agree that Gaiman's writing style and characterisation often feel flat, though I enjoy his imagination. <br /><br />People have such strong feelings about him as an author!Mariekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13251172733432029106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597127768888438076.post-84253805715021071192010-06-17T01:04:31.825+01:002010-06-17T01:04:31.825+01:00I've heard that the film is better then the bo...I've heard that the film is better then the book from several people. I haven't seen it yet but I can see how this might be... it has such a lot of parts - the stormhold lords, the air pirates and the witches that would make good fuel for films and the story is short and probably malleable enough to turn into a good film.Fionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00378715984699756859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597127768888438076.post-44063046795246123262010-06-17T00:56:12.314+01:002010-06-17T00:56:12.314+01:00Isn't it funny?

Although I do always enjoy his blog, and his twitter updates!<br />I agree when you say that Stardust doesn't feel terribly meaty -- I actually (and this is pretty rare for me to say!) feel that the movie was better than the book. But then again, I do not generally have very high standards for films (because I'm more of a book person.)Madigan Mirzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03298558705488237857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597127768888438076.post-79935810573813970572010-06-16T23:16:58.707+01:002010-06-16T23:16:58.707+01:00Phew! *wipes brow*Phew! *wipes brow*Fionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00378715984699756859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597127768888438076.post-53616917354020957452010-06-16T22:48:30.571+01:002010-06-16T22:48:30.571+01:00I *completely* disagree with pretty much everythin...I *completely* disagree with pretty much everything you said here :P But we're blogging friends anyway, of course ;)Ana S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16092495983972185943noreply@blogger.com
