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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

“Nobody died. how can you kill an idea? How can you kill the personification of an action?” “Then what died? who are you mourning?” “A point of view.”

The Sandman, Vol. 10: The Wake by Neil Gaiman

August 26, 2020 by narfna Leave a Comment

This is the second time while reading this series I have been sorely tempted to give one of these five stars, and I probably will when I revisit in future. What’s holding me back right now is that for most of this, I was only mildly emotionally engaged, but the very last issue, “The Tempest,” is one of my favorite things in this series, and maybe that Gaiman has ever written. I got a little teary while reading it, and in a different state of […]

Unfortunately a little underwhelmed by this one.

The Sandman, Vol. 9: The Kindly Ones by Neil Gaiman

August 10, 2020 by narfna Leave a Comment

I feel like I might be missing something here. I liked reading this but it wasn’t my favorite of the Sandman comics, and I don’t get the rapturous praise for it. I think some of my reaction may be again that I have read this series so spread out and I’m not making the connections with previous characters like I should. Some of it is also probably that it’s not just vibrating on the right frequency for me. Shrug. This is the climax, the denouement […]
