It had a very clear style -- one which I think discouraged me from connecting emotionally with the characters how I otherwise might have.

SA

And by "clear" I mean "distinct", that's the word I was looking for.

I've heard that stardust was pretty much and either/or type story. There's very few people I've seen here mention liking both.

All I know is, I loved the movie. Never read the book.

That's what faerie girls do -- seduce otherwise decent men and mess their lives up. It's the genre.

I liked both the book and the film, though they're quite different.

I just rewatched this yesterday. Love the movie, but I still haven't read the book.

The book is good, but I like the movie better.

(Anonymous) 2014-04-29 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
There were exactly two things I remember liking in the book and the movie had neither: His crush not being made into a "mean girl" who actually had her own wants and desires which had nothing to do with "the protagonist wants to bone me" and the epilogue.

That's how I feel about all Neal Gaiman's stuff. I feel like he's a great storyteller, but not a great writer, so his stuff comes across better in movies.

that is a very eloquent way of putting that

You know, sometimes I think I'm the only person in the world who actually liked the book better. Maybe because I had read it years before the movie came out? I mean, I really love the movie, too, but I'll pick the book over the movie every time.

YANA, at all. All my friends loved the book, loathed the movie.

(Anonymous) 2014-04-30 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
I love both, but I didn't like the book the first time I read it. And then a few years later, I read the version with Charles Vess' art and absolutely fell in love with it.

(Anonymous) 2014-04-30 01:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I read the book first, also listened to an audio book read by Neil Gaiman, and I prefer THAT over the movie any day.

(Anonymous) 2014-04-30 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I love them both. The book is way more fairy tale, but the movie ends less depressingly.
