I finished Stardust this morning. I am in two minds about it now. I know that had I read the book before I watched the film I would have preferred the book and laughed at the ending and dramatic license that has been taken with the book. But I didnt. I saw the film first and fell in love with the story completely and now the book seems much darker and less pleasing than the film. The same happened with The Princess Bride, how I wish I had read the book first. Alas now, the film will be how I remember the story but in return will become one of my favourite films of all time, I lost a book and gained a film.

I began the Sabriel trilogy by Garth Nix just now, I think I felt the need to be consoled in some way. Even though I have all of these wonderful books waiting on my shelves I need some comfort reading and this is the only trilogy I could find with all the books together!
