I just started rereading Sandman, the first two volumes so far... Legolas Send a noteboard - 27/07/2013 05:58:12 PM

and they are even better than I remembered. Really great stuff, the best he has done - he's a great writer in any case, but in Sandman you've got great artists on top of it.

He is probably be at his best in short stories, or as in Sandman's case a long story made up by a number of separate and sometimes quite different volumes, each of which is separated in turn into the individual issues with their own mini-plotlines. It's basically a mosaic, and it's brilliant.

Smoke and Mirrors and Fragile Things show off his multimedialism... Raserei - 18/07/2013 09:24:52 PM 979 Views

Nate did a great job, so I'll just add to what he said. Stephen - 17/07/2013 12:42:44 PM 1040 Views
MY experience was his novel Neverwhere... everynametaken - 18/07/2013 02:34:22 AM 919 Views
Neverwhere is quite easily his worst novel. Stephen - 18/07/2013 10:50:25 AM 897 Views
Just to test a pet theory of mine... Legolas - 18/07/2013 06:33:51 PM 823 Views
I haven't read Lions of al-Rassan. *NM* Stephen - 19/07/2013 12:06:25 PM 360 Views
I want to learn about your theory! Ghavrel - 20/07/2013 10:15:51 AM 842 Views
Oh good. *chalks up another data point for the theory* (spoilers for Lions of al-Rassan) Legolas - 20/07/2013 12:18:32 PM 826 Views
I read Tigana first, but much prefer Lions. Rebekah - 20/07/2013 12:49:10 PM 893 Views
Yeah, I think we discussed that before. The exception that confirms the rule? Legolas - 20/07/2013 01:19:46 PM 830 Views
I read Lions after Tigana. MonCul - 27/07/2013 02:59:47 AM 860 Views

Yeah, Neverwhere isn't too great. beetnemesis - 18/07/2013 07:14:06 PM 800 Views
I love Neverwhere. Rebekah - 20/07/2013 12:50:10 PM 772 Views
Just read Neverwhere already! A Deathwatch Guard - 20/07/2013 04:50:09 AM 883 Views
I have only read American Gods and as the risk of being tarred and feathered I though it was just OK random thoughts - 25/07/2013 02:22:39 AM 826 Views
I'm with you on that. MonCul - 27/07/2013 03:03:53 AM 820 Views
Actually, I do agree that it's a bit overrated. Nate - 27/07/2013 05:30:41 PM 944 Views
I never really liked 1602 Stephen - 28/07/2013 02:12:54 PM 844 Views
It was probably the novelty that I liked. Nate - 04/08/2013 05:18:58 AM 771 Views
He's definitely a good writer but not a personal favorite Isaac - 27/07/2013 02:24:25 AM 877 Views
