The fourth Absolute Sandman volume completes the main story arc of the series, combining disparate elements and characters to produce a finale that I did not expect at all at the beginning. Initially I struggled with not being able to discern how anything related to anything else but the second half...
Well, this is of course, brilliant. But why? It occurs to me that the world Gaiman set up for himself was in fact the perfect tool for him: He could incorporate any mythology, religion, genre, location or time and still make it all self-consistent, hence allowing his imagination to go wherever it wa...
Po przeczytaniu świetnego cyklu o "Sandmanie" postanowiłem chwilę dłużej pozostać w tym klimacie. Wybór padł na starszą siostrę Morfeusza, Śmierć, która jest jedna z ciekawszych w tym uniwersum. Czy jest coś ciekawego, czego możemy się od niej dowiedzieć? Zaraz się przekonacie Wizerunek naszej boh...
Graphic novels are really not my thing. But this is the first one I've read that *felt* more like an illustrated novel than a comic book. Or at least, illustrated short story. It might be because this one has as much narrative structure as dialogue and very little action, so the artwork seemed more ...
I usually love Neil Gaiman's books so I didn't feel worried picking this one up after Beloved. I figured if anyone could hold their own after a masterpiece it should be him. No. Other than an interesting idea (made stronger in the film) this book held nothing for me. It was too simplistic. Maybe it'...
Volume II of this series is as gorgeous as Volume I. There are two main stories, only one of which I'd read before. The first, about Lucifer abdicating as ruler of Hell, did not appeal to me as much as the second, about The Cuckoo, with its cast of characters from under-represented groups and very m...
I first read this story in Almond's Half a Creature from the Sea. I enjoyed it then. I enjoyed the story this time too (it's the same story), but I didn't connect with the illustrator's style. The pictures didn't add to my reading/understanding of the story.
I'm in love with this series and these characters. This one has such a huge chunk about Roland's past that I started to feel a little drifty. It seemed like it was getting off topic, but I should have known better. The author connected it all and showed why it was important. Also, it made me fee...
Coraline by Neil Gaiman I am going to write my own long-winded summary because none of the other ones presented on Goodreads seems to lend the actual story any justice. Of course, it is also possible that I've pretty much told the entire story already in the paraphrasing following this needless i...
This is the first book I have read by Gaiman, but will most likely will not be the last.This is a fascinating and creepy tale, that is simple, yet amazing and fun to read. The story is pretty fast-paced with lots of weird little details thrown in. I watched the movie when it first came out and I don...
