I've only ever read "Stardust" and have always wanted to try another Gaiman book. I'll have to head to Barnes and Noble and treat myself this weekend.

Yes, what we leave out is as important as what we include (and Gaiman's a master).MG Higginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03584010470283038023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3293818069256266954.post-20336219964132246102009-10-21T14:00:25.019-07:002009-10-21T14:00:25.019-07:00The Graveyard Book was great, I agree.

He said the idea waited years until he felt he was ready to write it. Have you ever heard him read? Fabulous. I'm a big fan of the audio of The Wolves in the Walls.Tricia J.

Love Gaiman's imagination and heard that he paralleled The Jungle Book w/ TGB, so that makes it doubly interesting.<br /><br />Though didn't read the book, thought Stardust the movie was along the lines of The Princess Bride... probably won't ever reach that cult status, but a great movie.Joshua McCunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17367262185912463258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3293818069256266954.post-32048741078356547092009-10-20T21:32:34.501-07:002009-10-20T21:32:34.501-07:00I haven't read that one yet ... your recommend...I haven't read that one yet ... your recommendation may just sway me!Kelly H-Yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07324529762031928328noreply@blogger.com
