This week has just sped by. I can hardly remember where the days went. It's probably because I spent most of my time with my nose in a book, lol. I finished The Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman. Did I even mention that I had started it? Anyway, it was excellent. Gaiman takes mythology to a whole new level. Has anyone read this? I was lost as to the significance of the lime.

Anyway, it's getting late so this is going to be short. Catch ya tomorrow.

R.I.P. Book Review #4


Stardust by Neil Gaiman


I really enjoyed this book. I've read fantasy-type books before but never one with true fairies. I thought, going into it, that I wasn't really going to like it. What intrigued me most were the trailers for the movie. Nevertheless, Stardust has earned a treasured spot on my bookshelf and will more than likely be dusted off to be read again sometime.


Stardust was truly a lovely book. Gaiman can weave a fantastical world full of fairies and make you believe that it could have existed once upon a time. He also has the ability to bring you into the story and make you care about the characters' fates.


I've also read American Gods by Gaiman but Stardust was a much lighter and easier read. I totally recommend it to anyone looking to lose themselves in a fairy world.
