It is a great audiobook. I loved it so much! I have listened it when I was too tired to read on way or too dark to see the book's pages. How amazing cast and narration! Not hard to understand for a non-native English speaker, so worth it. And of course, the Sandman is unique and great!

REALLY cool audio production with many top-tier voice actors and sound effects! 

The definition of SHOW you, not tell you — almost to the point of not knowing what was going on? It helped me so much to have a frame of reference from watching the TV show. I would have missed key details in many of the stories if I didn’t have the show to reference. It’s like it needed a little bit more narration?

Some of the stories are darkkkkk. I wish all of them focused on Morpheus. Overall, enjoyable spooky season listen!

This is so entertaining to listen to! I love the production that it feels like I'm watching a movie.

True Neil Gaiman. The production was fantastic! Some episodes were incredibly weird and disturbing. Overall, a good listen.

A wonderful audio drama adaptation of Preludes & Nocturnes, The Doll’s House and Dream Country. It’s extremely faithful with minimal changes (probably the most noticeable change is that Façade was moved to precede A Midsummer Night’s Dream, which I was actually thinking would be a good idea even before I realized they actually did that!). The entire voice cast including James McAvoy as Morpheus and Neil Gaiman narrating does a remarkable job, they really all knock it out of the park. The production values are really unmatched, just top-notch all around.

Relistened before I finally get round to listening to Act III. It’s obviously great.

Purchased long before the accusations against Gaiman.
