leorejoanne 's review for:
The Sandman Vol. 2: The Doll's House
by Neil Gaiman
Oh, Neil Gaiman's genius at storytelling. Because this is exactly it, he doesn't really write books - he tells stories. And it has been long since I've decided that I don't really care what I read, or whether it is a book or a movie, so long as it is a good story. And Neil tells good stories.
Already the first part, which is not entirely relevant to the story, adds so much, while it shows how people from a different culture perceive the Sandman. How they find him as creature that resembles them in appearance, which shows us a thing which we have always known, and that is that humans create their gods in their image, and if cows had gods, they would have been cow shaped and so on.
The Sandman has captured me at the first book already (where John Constantine makes a guest visit, btw), there's just something sexy about him.
A particularly nice story is the one about the man he meets every hundred years.
I am definitely going to buy the rest of the books. The graphic design is genius, and I already gave my compliments for the text.
