The Sandman Vol. 7: Brief Lives by Neil Gaiman
5.0
The volume of the Sandman I've read more than any other, and the one which has provided me with the most inspiration, the most insight, and the most pleasure. Which is funny, because it is hard to call this a pleasant book. A lot of people die, but that is ok, because as Dream's sister says, "You lived what everyone gets, Bernie. You got a lifetime."
Reading that, and the rest of this, you have to imagine that Neil Gaiman's mind is on par with David Lynch, Francis Bacon, or Jean Genet, and the ideas running through it would put most people off their lunch. Most people don't like truth, or true things, and you get such things with that short list above, and you sure as hell get it with the Sandman. Just ask Chloe Russell, she'll tell you.
This book just opens you up, and you have to want that, you have to be ok with change. Just remember, this is a good book, but even good books can be dangerous.
