Scratchy Dreams

The Sandman by Neil Gaiman

January 18, 2021 by Singsonggirl 2 Comments

I bought and started this last year, but only finished it now, so in the 2021 collection it goes. Right in the beginning I’d like to say that I’ve never gotten into audiobooks, I prefer to read myself, but due to a number of circumstances (most of them powered by horniness), I’ve bought a few audiobooks last year and gave them another chance. I’m more used to radio plays and since this basically is one and it stars James McAvoy, my imaginary Scottish husband as […]

Just delightful

Stardust by Neil Gaiman

December 14, 2020 by thewheelbarrow Leave a Comment

I love Neil Gaiman. I find his books just so delightful. My introduction to him was the movie Stardust years ago. I found it, much like I find his work now, delightful. I remember at the time thinking that the movie was a little more “grown-up” than I expected; I assumed it was a children’s fairytale. I have since learned through a Neil Gaiman interview at the end of the audiobook that Stardust was all along a fairytale for adults. I think that the book […]

I am a passenger. I am moving through your dreams, all of your dreams. And you never knew

The Sandman (Audio Production) by Neil Gaiman

December 9, 2020 by LittlePlat Leave a Comment

Neil Gaiman refuses to call this an audiobook. And look, he’s not half wrong, it’s more of an audio play than anything else. But for the purpose of reviews, I’m going to treat this as a book. And no matter how we characterise it, this is a bloody marvellous piece of work, and one of the most pleasantly surprising things to come out of 2020. The premise is a bit daunting when you think about it: a comic book is a very visual medium that […]

A surprising twist on a fairly well-known story

A Study in Emerald by Neil Gaiman

October 10, 2020 by crystalclear Leave a Comment

Wow. I thought I knew where this was going, and then I didn’t.  I had some doubts over some decisions that were made at the beginning, but then it turns out I was wrong!  Looking back, of course those things were different!  I’m going to try my best to avoid spoilers, but that’s going to be very difficult.   The story starts off paralleling the Sherlock Holmes story of “A Study in Scarlet,” but with some slight twists.  All right, you think, this is an […]

How do you adapt a comic book into an audiobook? (Bingo #7)

Preludes and Nocturnes by Neil Gaiman

The Doll's House by Neil Gaiman

Dream Country by Neil Gaiman

October 1, 2020 by Malin 2 Comments

4.5 stars #CBR12 Bingo: Happy (I never thought that Sandman could be adapted into an audio story, so this made me very happy indeed) Official book description: When The Sandman, also known as Lord Morpheus – the immortal king of dreams, stories and the imagination – is pulled from his realm and imprisoned on Earth by a nefarious cult, he languishes for decades before finally escaping. Once free, he must retrieve the three “tools” that will restore his power and help him to rebuild his dominion, which has […]
