About Stardust Stardust Summary Character List Glossary Themes Read the Study Guide for Stardust Stardust essays are academic essays for citation. Watch the movie instead (which is still much more appropriate for teens than for children). Stardust study guide contains a biography of Neil Gaiman, literature essays, quiz questions, major themes, characters, and a full summary and analysis. I do not recommend this book for anyone, but especially not children or teenagers due to the inaccurate portrayals of live and romance, explicit sex, and gruesome acts of violence. Neil Gaiman, creator of the darkly elegant Sandman comics and author of The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish, tells the story of young Tristran Thorn and his adventures in the land of Faerie. There's a particularly unpleasant scene where a witch dismembers a unicorn, and there is no "good guy wins, bad guy loses" at the end. Stardust is an utterly charming fairy tale in the tradition of The Princess Bride and The Neverending Story. If you like happy endings or dislike gratuitous sex and violence, skip this book. Neither scene seems to serve any purpose besides satisfying the author's dark sense of humor, because they don't advance the plot and aren't even between the main characters. In the first few chapters, there's a pretty explicit sex scene, and later on there's another sex scene between a noble and a servant. I read the book because I just recently saw the movie (which I loved), and while I haven't enjoyed other Neil Gaiman books in the past, I thought it might be different based on the movie.
