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.

Very strong trigger warning for

"Calliope" as the rape scene in it has sound affects. "24 hours" is also tough as the violence has sound effects too. I personally could handle that better.

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!

extinctpanda's review against another edition

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

Minor: Incest

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

even though i have already watched the sandman show, this was still pretty cool. it sounded like the audio to a film because there was a lot of background sounds and different voices. i got a bit bored towards the end when the main story line was over and we got these weird mini stories… dunno what they were for…
