Book source ~ Purchased at Audible

It’s The Sandman by Neil Gaiman. Does this really need a blurb? An audiobook adapted from the graphic novels with an awesome cast of narrators.

If you love fantasy, horror, and short stories then this is a realm for you. I’ve read the graphic novels and this audiobook has them all, except with a fantabulous cast of narrators. It was a delight to listen to and a wildly fantastic and creative world to enter into and dwell for a time. Coming back to the real world was a bit of a letdown. I cannot recommend this enough. Go get it now!

Fantastic production. Highly recommend. Only tried this because of James McCavoy (love) but I do not like Neil Gaiman’s writing unfortunately. I do not connect with it. But for those who do.. listen to this!

You have to go in understanding this is an audio performance of a comic or you will end up confused! There is a lot of bouncing around that is more jarring in a novel style of storytelling, but if you're ready for it, it isn't very distracting.

Overall, I really liked listening to this audio version of the comic! I haven't had time to read something with lore this extensive, so I'm really glad that it's available to consume in other ways.

Probably the best audiobook I have ever listened to! I loved the full production, it felt like watching a movie. I'm definitely going to be listening to more like this.
