A review by jessica_flower
The Sandman: Act I by Neil Gaiman, Dirk Maggs
4.0
Up to this point in my life, this is quite possibly the best produced audiobook I've ever read. But it also gave me chills down my spine.
Whoever decided to make this a full cast audiobook deserves an award. Hell, the voice actors deserve an award: the voices are great, the accents correspond well with the characters and the time periods, and each chapter feels like an exciting TV episode going on in your mind. The sound production was also incredible, little background noises and music that really added to the quality and ambience of each scene.
That being said, PLEASE ADHERE TO THE TRIGGER WARNINGS. This isn't an audiobook for kids, and if you're sensitive to violence and morally depraved actions, it may be really hard for you to listen.
Lastly, don't listen to this in the evening or at night. It may give you bad dreams. In my case, it made it harder than usual to fall asleep.
TW: abduction, imprisonment, violence, some gore, rape, pregnancy resulting from rape, abuse and neglect of children, some homophobia and sexism, serial killers, murder, one instance of genital mutilation (from what I remember), psychological trauma.
