I wouldn't say I "read" it. It's an audio story like the old time radio shows. The best way to spend my time walking the dog. Thrilled there's an Act 2 and a Netflix show.

I just don't know how everything connected. Idk what the point was. I liked some aspects. But really not a lot.
Captivating story with some of the best audiobook narration I've ever heard.

Adapter un comics en livre audio ? Audible a réussi à le faire, et avec brio.
De la musique, des bruitages, différentes voix et acteurs pour chaque personnage, c'est très immersif et prenant. On est vraiment plongé dans l'histoire, ça donne l'impression d'écouter une série.
J'ai beaucoup aimé le format épisodique, même si le changement d'ambiance entre les épisodes étaient parfois frappant. C'était prenant de suivre le Seigneur des Rêves, Morphé, l'un des sept infinis, dans ses aventures. On y découvre, dans des scènes plus ou moins glauques, macabres et fantastiques, les conséquences de son absence, la quête de différents objets pour restaurer son pouvoir sur les hommes et leurs rêves, son amour pour les mortels.
J'ai juste été un peu gênée par le jingle à chaque chapitre.

I have a kind of middle of the road feeling about this, so I'm going to plop my rating right in the middle. I fully admit I'm not a big reader of graphic novels (or surely I'd have read this before now). This means I didn't have any preexisting connection to any of the DC characters that popped up or underlying love of the Gotham world. And, in listening to it, I found I much prefer a regular old audiobook to a dramatization. (Though obviously this is what it is because there's no novel to narrate and it's very well done.) My point is that, unlike a lot of readers, I didn't come to this predisposed to love it. I liked the idea of Morpheus a lot and I've read several Gaiman books I enjoyed (though not all of them), but I was a fairly blank slate.
When the story settled into a single narrative arc for a while I enjoyed it quite a lot. I like Morpheus and his crew. I chuckled frequently, even amongst the grimness. But most of the individual, single episodes bored me. And there were more rapes and women being menaced in alleys (and such) that I felt necessary. Though I acknowledge that this was first published in or about 1998, and that seems to have just been the norm of the time. (Still is, honestly, though I think we're at least becoming more aware of it as problematic.)
All in all, I'd probably listen to volume II if I could get it from the library. But I don't think I'd buy it. I do plan to watch the Netflix show though and that's why I listened to this in the first place.
