Each of the Endless get a story. This is not the best of Sandman

Awesome, fairly quick read! Love the different comic styles and how the stories tie in together. Would read again!

I never really got into Sandman. I mean, Gaiman is a fantastic writer (though it's just been in the last couple years that I read some of his stuff), and even though I've been into comics a long time, Sandman just wasn't something I read. I tried the first couple collected volumes a while back, and didn't think they lived up to the hype, so I just quit.

But I probably should have stuck with it. I just finished Endless Nights, and I really, really liked it. At worst, they were weird and intriguing. (But in a good way.) But, at best, they were fascinating. Chapter 3, Dream: The Heart of a Star was worth the price of the entire book. (Well, I borrowed it from the library, but you know what I mean.)

I loved the stories about Dream and his siblings! The Endless are fascinating to me as they are the personifications of their names rather than gods.

http://nhw.livejournal.com/171659.html[return][return]A recent coda to the Sandman series, with one short story for each of the seven Endless siblings. A couple of them - Despair and Destiny - really seemed pretty pointless, and I didn't think much of the Dream story either. I enjoyed all the others though; a marvellously sultry tale of Desire, and the Destruction, Delirium and Death stories all left me wishing they had been longer.

There will never be a Sandman comic that I do not enjoy.

I liked the chapters on Despair and Delirium best.

This answers and asks more questions.

I love this so dearly.

Probably the least interesting and easiest volume to overlook of the series.
