i just love neil gaiman he cant do wrong in my eyes.

Wow. It sure as hell started off a bit confusing, but when I got more and more closer to the end, and highly creeped out, things started to make sense. But in a good way, if there's even such a thing. It definitely made me think about it for sometime. Beautiful, yet haunting in it's depths and how it was written. Liked it well enough.

Kelley Jones

Charles Vess

A collection of stories, comics, and plays that deal with never ending dreams.

Dream Country

Smfh. I want the time I wasted reading this volume back. Ugh. Just because I have the next volume, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt and read it. sigh. such an unsexy mess.

A collection of short works offers stories that range in setting from a ghost-ridden cellar to a hotel convention of serial kilers, and includs works by Gene Wolfe, Clive Barker, Tad Williams, and Barbara Hambly.

Season of Mists

Gaiman writes so deeply and darkly sometimes it makes my head hurt to think about it . This was worth the read although it seemed to lag a bit.

Fables & Reflections

The  Sandman

Neil Gaiman weaves a tale quite like none.

All comic lovers have at some point in there lives heard about The Sandman by Neil Gaiman. And even just book lovers have heard about it as well. 

I was instantly enthralled by it. The illustrator's depiction of Dream is so amazing, so unlike what people actually imagine Dream would be like, but it works with the amazing story Neil Gaiman created. 

It was dark and unbelievable, yet so well constructed that it looks rational. 

Also, am I the only one who thinks that Dream looks just like Neil Gaiman himself?! I mean, Dream had to be based on him. 

And lastly, just because I can't help myself: Death is so AWESOME. I totally wasn't expecting Death to be like that. Anyway, the Sandman is just as good as I expected. It definitely deserves to be read.

read it with the audiobook *chef’s kiss*

this has separate, unrelated stories but i especially enjoyed the cat who dreamt of world domination

Preludes & Nocturnes

Laura Mauler

Graphic novels and comics: I get them now. Before this, their pictures were vaguely interesting but I often didn't even look at them, I was just reading the text and speech bubbles to get the story the fastest way I could. I wanted the story fast (I was a glutton for stories). But when I merely glanced at, or even skipped, the pictures, it felt like I was missing out on something.... because I was. And then this book. This book. When I saw the cover page of "Sleep of the Just" I gasped out loud. The pictures of Morpheus and Alex in the tower, Morpheus riding peoples' dreams, and so many more, they gave as much power to the story as the words. And those words, that story - I am in awe.

Peter Straub

An attempt to summon and imprison Death, results, instead, in the capture of Morpheus, the Sandman, who must regain the tools of his powers.

Brief Lives

The Sandman

Yet another work that showcases the genius of Neil Gaiman. The lore, the plot, the characters are so interesting and complex. This story flew by and I think I might have to buy the graphic novels. Highly recommend!

The Sandman Vol. 2

Alina

** spoiler alert **
           The King of Dreams, the very embodiment of Dream, Morpheus, is back in business. As of right now, he has all his equipment back and all his resources at his disposal. It’s good that he does, since the palace staff, a terrible nightmare, and Fiddler’s Green have disappeared. Obviously, the Dream Lord cannot let the foursome roam free in the human world, so he makes plans to retrieve them.

Although The Sandman has less screen time this time, I have most enjoyed the intrigue of the main story and the thrilling insights into Morpheus’ past.

This 2nd volume follows Rose Walker’s quest to reunite with her estranged little brother, as well as a relationship with a surprise family member. Remember Felicity Kinkaid, the girl who got pregnant and gave birth while Morpheus was imprisoned for 70 years? It turns out the kid was Rose’s mother!

Neil Gaiman writes short stories about cursed love affairs and millennial dates between unlikely friends.

Beware, because Dream is angry, and this is not for the faint of heart.

Now if only I could adjust to the inconsistent illustration style.

I found that the art style made it hard to keep track of which characters were which. I was expecting more story, more substance. The last segment of the 234 page novel summarized the plot nicely, and I, like the main character, felt, "...drained. Disappointed. Let down."

Dimitris Papastergiou

As good as I remember it.

This is my 2nd time around so...

Just read it.

Lovely stories that won't let you stop turning pages!

In this highly imaginative book that boasts diverse styles of breathtaking full-color art, seven peculiar and powerful siblings each reveal more about their true beings as they star in their own tales. 1-40120-113-X$17.95 / DC Comics

The Doll's House

As good as it was the 1st time around!


Go read that shit. ASAP. NOW!

A Game of You

Keeps going strong! 

My only complain is that I personally don't like Barbie as a character at all. Super boring and wouldn't care what she does or says. The story overall was like a fairy tale and it was good, it just wasn't THAT good.

2nd Reread

Really like the standalone stories! 

Half the time even more than the story arcs with parts and whatnot!

Going strong!

Volume 7 and I still love reading it as much if not more than the first time around.

It may be my 2nd favourite volume (after the 1st one).. just because of the whole Delirium/Sandman relationship. So fun to read!

Still great! Such great stories. You'll even love the stand-alone stories. Actually, I like the standalones maybe even better than some of the stories that go on for issues.

Amazing story-telling!

rumbledethumps

A decent start to an exceptional series. This was certainly not the best of the series, but it starts the journey off in a compelling-enough way to make me want to keep reading through the rest of the books (for the third time).

World's End

A pause before the two book finale of the series. Envelops us in what makes this series so great: the stories. And told in the classic "travellers stuck together telling tales to amuse each other" format. But also setting up the next and final part of the bigger story.

Brief lives

The sandman

When I first read the entire sandman series, this was my least favorite of the books. I think it still is. It seems overly long for what it accomplishes in the main story line, and rambles about a bit in sidelines for the sake of style.

It is still essential to the overall arc of the story and the character of Morpheus, and it is still good. Just not as good as the rest. Perhaps I will change my mind as I read the final 3 books.

Dream Hunters

Finally got around to reading this prequel, published 20-ish years after the original run, and I have to say I'm a bit disappointed.  I didn't like the circular layouts, didn't like the story, and didn't care about the unanswered questions it finally answered. My least favorite of the Sandman books.
