This book has some disturbing content. So much so that I nearly abandoned it. I've read the comic, so it wasn't a surprise, but it's nasty. And then I got through that, and it was sweet, and surprising and interesting.

I'm still confused about how or whether these individual stories are meant to hang together as a whole. Maybe I'm just confused, or maybe in the end they will. Or won't.
I'm looking forward to finding out whenever the next instalment arrives.

This was worth having an audible account still that I keep meaning to cancel but never can because I have credits that I have to use before I do so.

Fantastic what a ride! Great cast and can't wait for the next one

What an absolute gem! This is by far the best audiobook (or well, audio drama is more like it) I have ever listened to. Full cast, great performances, background noises, music and Neil himself doing the narrating. Some chapters were more interesting than others, but overall this was great.

If The Sandman's world is even only just remotely up your alley then download it on Audible right now!

I loved following Morpheus around and the scenes I enjoyed the most were the ones where he talks to his sister, who sounds a like a valley girl but is absoltely nothing like one. :)

There are two more coming up if I'm not mistaken and all I can say is when? WHEN????
