This VERY short story read a bit like an odd Twilight Zone episode.
This was a very odd sort of sci-fi story that leaves the reader to wondering what they just experienced.
I feel like this would have been more enjoyable if it was a tad bit longer.

لحين صدور الاقتباس السينمائي المنتظر لهذه القصة الشهيرة في العام القادم، كان من الممتع العودة لعالم نيل جايمان مجددًا مع واحدة من أشهر قصصه القصيرة على اﻹطلاق التي نالت اقتباسًا مصورًا هائلًا عمل عليه الثنائي المبدع جابرييل با وفابيو مون، مازجة بين عدد من العناصر الجذابة: لمسة من الغموض والخيال العلمي مع خواطر فترة المراهقة وهواجسها مع ربطها بالثقافة السائدة في بريطانيا السبعينات وموسيقاها التي لا تنسى.

I enjoyed this wacky short story by Neil Gaiman the first time I read it (before it was a graphic novel). The illustrations are beautiful, and I loved it even more this time around. I can't wait for the movie! Recommended for ages 14+, graphic novel fans, sci-fi fans, Neil Gaiman fans, and reluctant readers.

Jules bought this for me, as a blind present. I wasn't sure what to expect going in, I thought maybe it would be a short standard fiction tale. I guess I should have known better, with all the creators involved in this. Gaiman doesn't really do normal, does he?
It went places I never would have thought of as an author, and the art work is really fabulous. The use of colors is really impressive, and I love how the backgrounds just dissolve into nothing, as if this is all a fever dream.
The writing does that favorite thing of mine, where even though it's some fantasy world, the main fantastical element is perfectly metaphoric for what it's representing in real life. Women are a galaxy to young men. Some women feel like aliens to young men. And even if none of that's true, that's how it's remembered when looking back at the ferocious love of when you were 15 years old.

I can't really decide how I feel about the story itself. The writing is lovely, with some fantastic images and turns of phrase; the art is classic Moon & Ba; but... do young men really find women so inscrutable? Legitimate question- because I don't know. And I think that prevents me from being able to really understand the end. (I found the actual short story to read, thinking that would help me better understand- but it did not.)
