Tristan promises his true love that he will go and find a star. Little does he know that not only are three witches after the star's heart to further their longevity, but four corrupt brothers also seek the star to claim their right to the throne of Stormhold.
Tristan follows his heart to the star, assuming he'll find a glittery ball of rock. What he finds surprises him, and takes him on a journey beyond, but in step with, his wildest dreams.

I saw the movie before knowing that this was a book, and I wish I had read the book first. There's a lot that the movie adds (from what little I remember), but both stories are still fantastic. Sometimes movies mess up the "flow" of a book in my mind, and flow is usually a strength of Gaiman. I'm chalking up the rough spots to seeing the movie first, but there were a few places where I had to remind myself what was happening. Now I need to read the book-with-pictures edition!! Nevertheless, Neil is awesome, and I hope that I can write like him someday. And become best friends.
