Stardust blew me away when I was a freshman in high school. I loved it from the beginning. Then I went on to read Neverwhere. I started to read the Sandman series, but then stopped. Even for a graphic novel, it is incredibly graphic, not only in violence (which is usually expected. Check out the Beowulf graphic novel–it’s pretty sweet), but also in sexuality. I’m pretty sure I threw up a little in my mouth. And I went to public school ;)

As always, you have to take everything you read, non-Christian and Christian, with a grain of salt. Gaiman is an excellent writer who crafts unbelievably believable worlds, but he is also an immoral, fallen person like the rest of us. Sometimes it comes through in his writings.

I've come to a sad point now where I've read the majority of books he's written and if I'm not careful, there won't be anything left for me to enjoy.  Have you started reading the Sandman series yet? How I do love Neil Gaiman’s writing… let me count the ways.
