Never, NEVER underestimate Hollywood's ability to dumb down and destroy any work
of literature, so don't be too hopeful on this yet.

Having said that, there are two main versions of Stardust-- one of them a richly
illustrated graphic novel, and the other a "normal" novel. The "normal" novel
has some modifications to the text, mainly to add descriptions that weren't
necessary in the version with illustrations. If you are going to buy a copy,
make sure that you buy the illustrated version.
