Stardust by Neil Gaiman

Gaiman also wrote the book Stardust. I saw the movie, with Claire Danes, which came out a few years ago, and wanted to read the book. I liked the book but it just wasn't quite as exciting as the movie. The plots are very similar but Hollywood jazzes up the ending a bit. Both are good though and I would recommend them in any order.

Tristan is a young man in love. And to prove his love he offers to go across the wall to find a fallen star and bring it back to the lovely Victoria. The wall marks the boundary between our world and another very different world. There Tristan finds many adventures waiting for him along with a fallen star that is much more feminine than a celestial rock.
