Stardust

This is the first Neil Gaiman book I've read, and I am disappointed. The story was unoriginal, the style was cutesy (except for the sex and gore) rather than whimsical, and his Faerie was strangely undefined–it was a hodge podge of odd landscapes and characters that were conveniently there so that the protagonist could have a sort of threatening adventure, but it didn't seem to have a life and logic of its own. This just felt like lazy story-writing.
