If you can quote “The Princess Bride”, you will like StarDust. All others may skip.

For additional work by Neil Gaiman I would recommend the Sandman series, and Neverwhere. Good Omens is also very funny.

If you are looking for something else to read by Neil Gaiman, my advice is to avoid “American Gods” like a plague. Go with “Stardust” (which is sufficiently different to still be interesting), “Neverwhere”, or “Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch”.

Of course I see other people recommends “American Gods”, so your millage may vary. At least, if you read “American Gods” and hate it, try one of those other ones before giving up on him (especially the last as it is actually a joint work with Pratchett).

Onestly I can’t say the movie is good, because I had read the original novel before, and I must say the movie is party close to the book for the first part, but, holy pizza, the second part is totally fictitious and meaningless.

If you really liked the movie, then please, please, please read the original book. You will find the movie really shitty

(sorry for my language, but I’ve been really unsatisfied with the movie;
…oh, and also I’m not native english writer, so sorry for my mistakes ^^;)

My review of Stardust was “It is a better Narnia than Narnia.” I really enjoyed it and would highly recommend it.

I haven’t seen the movie yet, I’ll probably get to that next weekend, but Neil Gaiman is indeed a very talented writer. I’ve read almost everything he’s written and it’s all very well crafted. I particulary recomend Stardust, American Gods and his graphic novels Sandman.

I was surprised when I looked up this movie in IMDB, I cannot believe it has so great rating (8.1).. But I must agree, De Niro was awesome!

Neil Gaiman is indeed talented, as a starter I can recommend “American Gods” heavily.
