Stardust, by Neil Gaiman

I am glad I saw the movie first, in this particular case. I found the book to be overly fluffy, and did not really have the depth I was hoping for. I felt the movie, by going to the big screen, breathed so much more life into the story than what it originally had.

Additionally, Hollywood took the story in a much different direction than Neil did. Not sure how the author feels about that, but I sure enjoyed Hollywood's version more. With exceptions, of course.
