I listened to this full cast audiobook with some well known actors narrating with James Mcavoy 🔥voicing the main character Morpheus. Joining him was Kat Dennings as Death, Michael Sheen as Lucifer, Taron Egerton as John Constantine, Samantha Morton as Urania Blackwell, Riz Ahmed as the Corinthian, Andy Serkis as Matthew the Raven, Bebe Neuwirth as the Siamese Cat and Neil Gaiman himself as the Narrator.

It was a full house of talent telling this crazy dark story. As good as everyone is, I feel like there are parts more meant to see 👀 than hear👂which is a complaint I have with this type of audiobook. It does make me more interested in watching the show now though, so there’s that.

I've loved the comics for a long time, and this audio adaptation more than did them justice.  I'm excited to listen to the rest!

The voice acting is great! The range of actors makes it seem like a real play. There are a few triggering things in the book but it's not overdone. There are a few scenes that were harder to get invested in, but more often than not they pulled me in and I wanted to hear more!

This is so amazingly done. The sound design, the voice actors, the music, the narration – I’ve read all of the comics over and over and I cannot say enough good things about this adaptation.
