Beautifully - unfortunately much too short

I've got it in one day swallowed. Hardly any other writer manages to make you sink so quickly into a story. The writing style is as found in old fairy tales - probably the only way such a story believable to tell. The figures are gorgeous fabulously simple and straightforward, the story leaves a downright dream. Those looking for a more sweet, melancholy, sometimes dark, ironic fairy tale with a happy ending, can not get to Stardust. I'm amused. The only drawback of the book is: for me the book could be three times as long. From these figures, one might be to strong 250 pages just do not say goodbye again.
