The audiobook is a masterpiece, with extremely talented voice actors. I had more fun with this than reading the comics even.

Sometimes visceral, often dreamy. Delightfully imaginative stories woven in dark Fantasy, traces of horror, and linked in an arc.

The conjurations of "24 hours" (Doctor Destiny) shall live long in memory.

Gaiman is back in my good books (Norse Mythology got a 5, American God's got a 2). Whether or not the experience was enhanced by faultless voice acting shall remain to be seen.

11 hours well spent!

I really loved the full set of actors that this had. Neil Gaiman should narrate many many more audiobooks

So I found this a bit lacking . . . I'm pretty sure it has EVERYTHING to do with the fact that I watched the Netflix TV show first and I REALLY enjoyed the show. The little nuances that were changed in the show - Lucien's race and gender, Rose and Unity's race, how the escaped nightmares/dreams appear/are described; the TV show did it better. This audio did have a bit more detail, and extra stories not in the show. This audio also makes the DC connection that Netflix was unable to do, I liked that. Overall, this was really good. I just actually liked the show better and will go ahead and listen to Act II and Act III before those seasons are released.

The stories are great, the voice acting is great, the sound effects are going to make me throw up.

Can we stop with the talking while eating, for starters? It's disgusting. I get that audiobooks (especially the full cast ones) are going to have sound effects, but it is necessary for them to be so disgusting and so loud? The music, too? There were several points where I couldn't make out what was being said because the music or the sound effects were too loud over the actual story.

چقدر لذت بخش بود!
موسیقیش، صداهاش و چقدر تعریف داستانش جذاب بود.
بازم مرسی از دیبا و بهار که بهم معرفی کردنش و پیدا کردنش و باعث شدن گوش بدم بهش.

درسته اکثرش رو با کمیک همزمان گوش میدادم، ولی اگه کمیک هم جلوت نبود و‌ چشماتو میبستی قشنگ همه چی رو برات تصویر میکرد.

از نظر داستانی هم جذاب بود. یکم متفاوت با سریاله.

از نظر نقاشی ای هم عالی بود سبکش!
