  <default-description>&lt;p&gt;Helena is about to embark on a most amazing journey.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Raised in a family of circus performers, she's always dreamed of leading a more ordinary life. But when haunting music draws her into a strange and magical realm, one where anything can happen, her real life is stolen by a runaway from the other side. Helena must rescue the realm from chaos in order to win back her own not-so-ordinary life.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;MirrorMask&lt;/b&gt; is a breathtaking film written by bestselling author &lt;b&gt;Neil Gaiman&lt;/b&gt; and brought to life through the vision of acclaimed artist and director &lt;b&gt;Dave McKean&lt;/b&gt;. This original novella is Helena's tale in her own voice, written by master storyteller Neil Gaiman and accompanied by original art by Dave McKean and images from the film; it is a stunning and magical journey.&lt;/p&gt;</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[Weirdly enough I actually listened to the book on cd and then looked at the book. In my case this was probably a good thing- the style of the book would not have appealed to me but I did enjoy the story...now I need to check out the movie.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Aaah, Gaiman is amazing in an extraordinary way that is so different than other fantasy writers. For some reason, I categorize him with Garth Nix. Weird. But anyways... great book - see the movie too!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The version of this book I have is not listed on &quot;goodreads&quot; - I own one of 500 copies of the original storyboards, signed by both Gaiman and McKean. Yep, I'm that obsessed with this author. HUSH!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I really like Neil Gaiman's work, but I couldn't get into this one.  I did not read the book, I watched the movie.  It was too bizzar for me. I realize it is based on a dream but as a viewer I felt myself &quot;working hard&quot; to follow and understand his message.  There were parts of the movie t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/54126022">more...</a>]]></body>
