This is so amazingly done. The sound design, the voice actors, the music, the narration – I’ve read all of the comics over and over and I cannot say enough good things about this adaptation.

Phenomenal. Absolutely phenomenal. I rarely am able to stay focused enough to listen to an audio book. The Sandman, with its sound effects and full cast (kind of a modern radio play) managed to not only retain my attention, but also for the first time in years I listened to something at an almost normal speed. I want to know anything and everything about how the mind of Mr. Gaiman works. His story was absolutely enthralling

This was a beautiful audio drama. James McAvoy's voice is perfect for Morpheus. Like some other reviewers, a lot of this content was far too graphic for me - especially as Dirk Maggs outdid himself in his soundscapes. I was far too uncomfortable throughout many episodes. Kat Dennings as Death was a *delightful* surprise.
