Phenomenal. Absolutely phenomenal. I rarely am able to stay focused enough to listen to an audio book. The Sandman, with its sound effects and full cast (kind of a modern radio play) managed to not only retain my attention, but also for the first time in years I listened to something at an almost normal speed. I want to know anything and everything about how the mind of Mr. Gaiman works. His story was absolutely enthralling

This was part of the Included catalogue on Audible for a limited time and I decided why not listen to it as part as of my October/Halloween read.
Side note: for days I had the song "Mr. Sandman" stuck in my head.
The production value is really good. I liked the sound effects (it helped visualizing scenes that's originally a graphic novel) and I liked the intro song.
I loved James McAvoy's voice. He's an excellent narrator. Though I did not picture Morpheus as the image on the cover but as James McAvoy.
I didn't realize the beginning would have a slight MacGuffin Plot. Even so, it was entertaining.
Some things I liked:
- Michael Sheen as Lucifer. I pictured him as Aro in the Twilight Saga.
- Episode 10: "Men of Good Fortune".
- The Vortex / Rose Walker
I hated:
- "24 Hours" - way too sick and disturbing. I fast forwarded that story.
- "Collectors" - I didn't see the point of this one.
If Part 2 is ever available in the Included catalogue then I'll listen to that.
3.5 our of 5 Dreams.
