The Sandman Act I was my first audiobook and I really enjoyed it. I loved that it was a full cast as this helped me feel engrossed in the story. I loved Neil Gaiman’s narration as well, he has a great voice for it! There were a few storylines but the main was revolved around Morpheus getting his items of power back after they were taken from him when he was imprisoned. I loved the mix of stories and most of the characters. Some of it was a bit gory for 7am as I listened whilst driving to work but overall I loved this.

The narration was amazing. That is about all I enjoyed. I understand it can be difficult to translate a graphic novel into an audiobook, but i found the netflix show adaptation much more entertaining. Some of the subplots were very boring and there was a lot of abuse conveyed on women that I felt was over the top and added for no apparent reason.

Had a blast as I felt like I was listening to a movie, and having watched the Netflix series I was able to follow along well. Brilliant story!

Completely unnecessary and over the top sexual violence with NO plot relevance whatsoever.

in the 40% I read there was necrophilia, people fucking until they died and their bodies being explained like that. Someone talking about dreaming about raping their mother. Plenty of other grossness and violence. And finally the point at which I gave up: a woman "removing her maidenhead" by injuring her vagina with a rock
