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.

Ça m'a donné envie de découvrir le comics (et de poursuivre ce livre audio).

Dang! I wish there were more audiodramas. This was really cool. I do wonder how well someone would understand it if they had not read the comic first.

This was incredibly well made. I wish I knew beforehand that this is just the first three volumes of the 10 volume set. They are going to make at least two more seasons. Excited to keep listening.

This audio drama is great, but I would not have ended on a midsummer night’s dream. It’s one of my least favorite stories in Sandman and the end feels like the studio just decided to stop recording.

You would not believe how delighted I was to learn that my local library had acts 2 and 3.

Imma give this a 4... stars... I think...

I don't really know how I feel about this, I know I looooved it, but I can still tell that's not a five or a three stars audiobook! It might be because I just love Sandman or because I love James McAvoy, Michael Sheen and Andy Serkis... But It also might be because I felt like I was in the world and even watching a movie (:

This book was so captivating, yet so unsettling. Some of the imagery is still stuck in my head, even months after I'd finished it, it's pretty terrifying, but you can't stop listening. The whole production was incredible too, Kat Dennings was AMAZING, I really don't think anyone could have done a better job. Overall, it scared me so much but I still loved it.

I loved this one. It was really fun to listen to, with different voice actors and sound effects that created such a good atmosphere. Plus the storylines are genuinely interesting. 5/5
