    About this audiobook

    Catch a fallen star . . .

    Tristran thorn promised to bring back a fallen star. So he sets out on a journey to fulfill the request of his beloved, the hauntingly beautiful Victoria Forester—and stumbles into the enchanted realm that lies beyond the wall of his English country town. Rich with adventure and magic, Stardust is one of master storyteller Neil Gaiman's most beloved tales, and the inspiration for the hit movie.

    Editor's Note

    Falling star…

    Neil Gaiman’s whimsical epic of a fairytale comes to life with the author’s narration of his beloved novel. Catching a falling star has never before seemed so adventurous — or so romantic.

      I'm in love with this book. Everything is so well written.
    • 5/5
      Fascinating story and being read by the author was brilliant
    • 5/5
      Beautiful story. Loved it! Narrator made it better. Thanks! ?
    • 5/5
      Very whimsical and fun book. I felt like a child again picturing all the characters.
    • 2/5
      Gaiman forgot to put the romance in this romantic fairytale.
      Luckily he fixed that blunder for the screenplay. The movie is better.
    • 5/5
      I started to tell you how much I appreciated Niel Gaiman's Stardust, when my computer decided to interrupt my line of thinking. So, I repeat, I think Neil Gaiman is a master of the good story well and richly told. I first met Stardust as a movie I must tell you, I loved. When I saw the book offered in audio form narrated by Neil Gaman himself I had to hear it. I will have to get the book itself to keep because I will read it again. The movie embroidered the story very well, I think. But I prefer the book in its direct and honest development. I plan to listen to as many of Neil Gaiman's books I have read and some I have not read yet. I had so much pleasure listening to Neil tell this story, and look forward with pleasure to hear the rest of the stories.
    • 5/5
      Ooooooooooh! What a wonderful experience this was. The story is lush, rich -just a feast for the mind. The author reads his story with such a quality of storytelling-unparalleled pleasure.
    • 5/5
      I did not like American Gods , I did like this book , quite a lot!
    • 5/5
      Mágica!!! A narração do autor faz você se sentir parte das aventuras de Tristan nesse mundo muitas vezes mágico e um pouco assustador como tudo poderoso é, eu amo o filme então fui sabendo muitos pontos de virada mas não estragou nenhum pouco viver de novo esse moderno conto de fadas
    • 5/5
      I love Neil Gaimen!! His narrations of his books are the best thing to listen to.
    • 5/5
      I so loved the interview with Mr. Gaiman at the end of the book.
    • 5/5
      Enchanting! A real "page turner"! (With an apparently English accent)
    • 5/5
      A delight from beginning to end. No more no less than exactly what was needed.
    • 5/5
      Enjoy listening. An romantic and lovely story. Good but a little sad ending.
    • 4/5
      Working my way through Gaiman’s backlist. This was a great read! The movie is different but just as entertaining!
    • 5/5
      Neil Gaiman will never cease to amaze me. Never !!!
    • 5/5
      Easily my favourite of the Gaiman I've read so far - I think his style works much better when he's not trying to be overly pretentious and involve too much philosophising in his work.
    • 4/5
      I can't believe I've only just read this. I usually don't like seeing movies before books and in this case it did colour my expectations, however the book stands on its own. It's charming and imaginative and if you like unicorns......beware!
    • 2/5
      great book, wish multiple people would have read it. loved the voice actor though.
    • 5/5
      Listening to Neil G. read is literally delightful. This is not a word I usually use when describing books. Dude is magical, his reading is magical, its unbelievably charming. I don't know if I would like the books as well if he weren't reading them. His voice and reading style are really part of the experience Totally love it. Thanks Niel G.
    • 5/5
      Highly recommended for the romantics and fairytale-loving adults. Neil brought to life his own characters and it was a delight to see.
    • 5/5
      Listened to this while reading its written form from a pdf file. Such a magnificent listen that brings any adult's mind into its inner child's wanderings.
    • 5/5
      Neil Gaiman’a own voice adds a unique twist to the tale.
    • 5/5
      Because I loved the movie and I heard many great things about the book, I decided to give it a listen. It has met my expectations. I also enjoyed the interview with Neil Gaiman at the end.
    • 5/5
      Enjoyed the movie when I was a kid. Never realized it was a book made for adults. Stumbled across it a couple days ago. Loved every moment of it. Neil Gaiman reading it was a treat, would recommend and would listen to again perhaps in another couple years. Many thanks for the production. Much enjoyed.
    • 3/5
      I thought the ending could have been more interesting than the book throughout, but it was a cute story about a fallen star.
    • 4/5
      Very whimsically beautiful. I enjoyed the impersonation of each characters’ narrated through the author himself.
