They use the same basic plot, they add a whole new character as well as some other changes, like a rigid barrier between human and faerie realm and the wall not opening every 9 years as it does in the book. I found the movie enjoyable even with these changes. Supposedly, Neil Gaiman approved of the film. I prefer the book, personally. :)Laura Shousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03157158728647060264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903086647629842456.post-71203857524448921722017-02-13T20:23:46.211-08:002017-02-13T20:23:46.211-08:00Hi Julie!

They add an entirely new character to the film, and don't really focus on the magical realm as much. I think the movie is entertaining, but it feels more like a nod to the book than a great adaptation. Definitely read the book first before watching the movie. :)Laura Shousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03157158728647060264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903086647629842456.post-66543352992237141272017-02-13T18:04:34.627-08:002017-02-13T18:04:34.627-08:00Hi Laura!

Also, I am interested in whether or not you have seen the 2007 movie adaptation of this book, like Suzanne asked. It would be interesting to hear if the movie-makers stayed true to the source material or, as most seem to be want to do, they deviated from the book's plot a bit (or a lot). Anyways, good review!Julie Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04489922735519878077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903086647629842456.post-46390224237112754202017-02-11T14:29:34.145-08:002017-02-11T14:29:34.145-08:00Your review of Stardust well-written and very desc...Your review of Stardust well-written and very descriptive.
