About this audiobook
Catch a fallen star . . .

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5a very cute and sweet book, made of nostalgia and love
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I enjoyed the pure fantasy, I enjoyed listening to the author!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5love this book when i was a child love it now <3
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I'm in love with this book. Everything is so well written.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Fascinating story and being read by the author was brilliant
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Beautiful story. Loved it! Narrator made it better. Thanks! ?
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very whimsical and fun book. I felt like a child again picturing all the characters.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Gaiman forgot to put the romance in this romantic fairytale.
Luckily he fixed that blunder for the screenplay. The movie is better. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I 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.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Ooooooooooh! 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.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I did not like American Gods , I did like this book , quite a lot!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Mágica!!! 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
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I love Neil Gaimen!! His narrations of his books are the best thing to listen to.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I so loved the interview with Mr. Gaiman at the end of the book.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Enchanting! A real "page turner"! (With an apparently English accent)
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A delight from beginning to end. No more no less than exactly what was needed.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Enjoy listening. An romantic and lovely story. Good but a little sad ending.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Working my way through Gaiman’s backlist. This was a great read! The movie is different but just as entertaining!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Neil Gaiman will never cease to amaze me. Never !!!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Easily 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.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I 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!
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5great book, wish multiple people would have read it. loved the voice actor though.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Listening 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.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Highly recommended for the romantics and fairytale-loving adults. Neil brought to life his own characters and it was a delight to see.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Listened 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.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Neil Gaiman’a own voice adds a unique twist to the tale.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Because 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.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Enjoyed 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.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I thought the ending could have been more interesting than the book throughout, but it was a cute story about a fallen star.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Very whimsically beautiful. I enjoyed the impersonation of each characters’ narrated through the author himself.
