by Neil Gaiman
Description:
Young Tristran Thorn will do anything to win the cold heart of beautiful Victoria—even fetch her the star they watch fall from the night sky. But to do so, he must enter the unexplored lands on the other side of the ancient wall that gives their tiny village its name. Beyond that old stone wall, Tristran learns, lies Faerie—where nothing, not even a fallen star, is what he imagined.
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman comes a remarkable quest into the dark and miraculous—in pursuit of love and the utterly impossible.
My Review:
This was a fun, yet short fairy tale. The hero's a bit clueless in love, but the adventure was of a good pace, and the tension from spending time in the shoes of the other folks after the fallen star kept me engaged.
Overall, I really liked this, though the romance didn't really pack a lot of emotion behind it. Recommended for folks who like fairy tale adventures.
I borrowed this from the library.
