The Sandman

Still working my way through the dramatization, and rereading the graphic novels just prior. The voice actors, sound editors and other production specialists have done a fantastic job of bringing Gaiman's masterpiece to life. After years of production hell of attempts to turn the series into a movie or television show, it appears they've finally found the ideal medium.

I do recommend that people read the series prior to listening though, less the frequent scene and character shifts confuse anybody unfamiliar with the story.

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.

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.

This audio book series I guess you could call it was breathtaking. The way that each and every character had a nuance to them and development was breathtaking. I could not stop listening and falling deep in the stories and the beauty of them all 10 out of 10 would deff recommend.

My first audio book and where do I go from here!?! Absolutely blown away. Mr. Gaiman, you are an absolute genius. The casting and performances are perfection. James McAvoy as Morpheus .....drew me into a story like never before. The level of creativity and imagination in The Sandman boggles my mind. It was like seeing and feeling the sun for the first time. And the "cereal" conference actually frightened me....something that's not easy to do Thank you yo everyone who made this masterpiece!
