Perhaps it's more like the world I inhabit in my mind. In my own special world, unicorns, magic, and fairies are real.<BR/><BR/>The little red book was $8. at B&N, in the journal section.Petuniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14059145750315789676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31135028.post-46448053198759813282007-05-02T20:59:00.000-07:002007-05-02T20:59:00.000-07:00"Ultimately, what I loved the most is that it felt..."Ultimately, what I loved the most is that it felt genuine."

I'll probably watch it but it makes me a bit nervous.<BR/><BR/>Framed, Carrie K, Debi-definitely read it and soon. It is so good. And Inkheart is wonderful so far as well.<BR/><BR/>Quixotic, Robin, Nymeth-I plan to listen to Coraline on tape and to read his short stories next. Then I may check out American Gods and Neverwhere. Yup.

And it seems the movie version has some changes to the story - I'm now a little apprehensive about the film version. Michelle Pfeiffer or not - I hope the movie will not suck.darkorpheushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02565452271408221461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31135028.post-30921436911165820802007-04-29T09:40:00.000-07:002007-04-29T09:40:00.000-07:00I have read so many good things about this book. ...I have read so many good things about this book.

There are so many wonderful books in the fantasy genre, so much great writing to enjoy.<BR/><BR/>Hope you go on to read some more of Gaiman's work. His children's books would be great to share with your family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31135028.post-49795434270474923482007-04-27T15:02:00.000-07:002007-04-27T15:02:00.000-07:00Oh, that sounds really good!

One of my favourite things about it is how the different threads come together at the end.
