Loading... The Sandman: Dream Countryby Neil Gaiman, Colleen Doran (Illustrator), Kelley Jones (Illustrator), Charles Vess (Illustrator)
None.  shanaqui | Apr 9, 2013 |  This one is a collection of stories with Sandman at the core of each one. MY favorite story is Caliope about a woman who is captivated by a writer since she helps him fend off writer's block. Another intriguing story is about William Shakespeare (unsurprisingly named as 'A Mid-Summer Night's Dream' - I believe it would take a second reading of the story to absorb all the nuances. Also, there is a rare prize hidden in this issue - Neil Gaimon's comic script for the story Caliope. I had great fun comparing script with the comic as it panned out and to read his notes and graphic descriptions. (  ) poonamsharma | Apr 6, 2013 | Third Sandman volume. This volume is again a series of different stories that are more or less separate. I really liked this one, more so than the first and second volume. The stories are very different and show Gaiman's diversity. Themes and characters from the other volumes return, but we also meet new characters along the way. Again Gaiman uses many outside references. I very much like the way Gaiman embeds his stories into ancient mythology, but with a modern twist. I'm very intrigued to see how the story will continue. (  ) Britt84 | Apr 5, 2013 | Todo el libro vale la pena por la historia A Midsummer Night's Dream, la cual es en si Maravillosa... (  ) Don.A | Apr 1, 2013 | Gaiman is inventive and has a deliciously dark imagination. I could do with less sexual violence (that's two volumes in a row now where a woman is confronted by a sexual agressor, on one occasion mutilating herself and on the other occasion, being raped), but the reader can't dictate the writer's creative choices (though I like to frown upon them as hard as possible). Shakespeare makes a welcome return in one of the stories and there's an absolutely delightful tale about how cats went from being masters to pets. Death, as ever, is cool as a cucumber. At his best, Gaiman is quite weird and wonderful. ( ) h_d | Mar 31, 2013 | no reviews | add a review Is contained inHas as a reference guide/companionHas as a supplement

They're interesting little stories: Calliope is my favourite. The cat one is interesting, cats dream too and they see Morpheus as a cat... The idea of Morpheus making a deal with [b:William Shakespeare|18135|Romeo and Juliet|William Shakespeare|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51XTDJ3P4XL._SL75_.jpg|3349450] was brought up in an earlier volume and it's followed through on here. And finally, a story about Death... it's interesting because the main character is an interesting idea, and doubly interesting because Death is rapidly becoming my favourite character, despite her few appearances.
