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.

I've loved the comics for a long time, and this audio adaptation more than did them justice.  I'm excited to listen to the rest!

Audio book only - a dramatized version of the first 20 comics of The Sandman.

STELLAR cast and incredible storytelling.

Trigger warnings for: rape, child abuse, murder, pretty much any and all violence, substances

I am past the point in my life where I write long reviews (if I write reviews at all) but this is totally worth your time if you are a Neil Gaiman fan.

This is so amazingly done. The sound design, the voice actors, the music, the narration – I’ve read all of the comics over and over and I cannot say enough good things about this adaptation.
