4.54 AVERAGE


after hearing so many good things about this series, I'm finally starting it.
it's quite dense, plot-wise, and I'm still not sure if this sexy immortal-man-of-mystery is supposed to be a hero or villain (I'm imagining a mix of Neil Gaiman himself with a heavy dose of Alan Rickman's Snape) but I'm enjoying the romp so far. this was a huge volume - 600+ pages - and I didn't look ahead to see how many volumes there were, so imagine my oh cripes! reaction when I finally saw there are 5 volumes. so this will not be a quickly achieved goal.

Hype alle stelle e capisco perché.

Epic, an absolute joy. I can already tell Sandman will be one of my favourites of all time. It's definitely worth the hype. The characters, the art, the references, everything just *chef's kiss*

Masterful storytelling. Reading Sandman is like watching a movie, the narrative and the visuals and the story just... flow.
