    Nothing short of Perfection

    As an old Gaiman fan, I was hopeful about this audio book and it is so far way better than I've hoped for.

    I've first read the Sandman graphic novels many years ago (around 2003-4) and was falling in love with it and its creator. Hearing this audio book is as colorful and amazing as the original graphic masterpiece, and it stands as a masterpiece of its own.

    The narration by Neil himself, the sound acting by the cast, the picturesque descriptions of the scenes - all are executed in such perfection that this is, in my eyes, an amazing introduction into the world of the Endless ones.

    Thank you Neil, again, for such a wonderful gift.

    A weird, wild, unexpected pleasure.

    I kept getting the feeling that this show would step out of my interest at many points. Yet I kept eagerly hitting next episode after each. I will watch this one again now that Im familiar with its style and I expect I will enjoy it even more. It was a weird one and I found it compelling.

    Better than ever expected

    I understand why it's taken so long to have these tales translated into film, if it is to be done properly. I was worried about losing the feeling of "place" in an audio version, but the production, cast, and of course the Narrator himself have done an amazing job with one of my favorite series of all time. Thank you.

    LISTEN TO ME!!

    WATCHHHHH!! Reviews are subjective, I typically don't listen to other's reviews if I want to see something. I'm so glad I didn't listen...this series is effortlessly acted & written the actors are PERFECT. It's been a long time since I've been transported to another realm & didn't realize it. I'd feel like a sell out if I didn't mention that this is the first series where I didn't feel like they just threw a Black person in for a quota, I actually didn't notice race in a world that's obsessed with it. I just enjoyed the storyline and rift's the cinema magic. You owe it to yourself to be entertained PEOPLE!!!

    King of Dreams, Lord of Nightmare

    A masterful adaptation of Neil Gaiman's Sandman. I'm a lifelong fan of Gaiman's work, from Neverwhere to American Gods, but Sandman is my absolute favorite piece. The direction, the voice acting, the narration from Gaiman himself is top tier entertainment. Something to enjoy before the Netflix series premieres this winter!
