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...
Interesting and quite well done. I have some problems with the world view but I think they're probably a function of the point of view character than the creators' values.

The last two volumes of this series have made me come to the conclusion I don't really like Neil Gaiman. I want to. I really do. I enjoyed some of the earlier books in this series (Vol. 4). When it comes down to it I am not interested. And I have tried multiple books and graphic novels of his.

This volume pretty much sums up why I love The Sandman overall, and I can't really put into words how awesome this particular volume is. So many issues, so many moments, and everything adds up. Just amazing, read this series if you get the chance!
