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 1259 Views

Nate did a great job, so I'll just add to what he said. Stephen - 17/07/2013 12:42:44 PM 1291 Views
MY experience was his novel Neverwhere... everynametaken - 18/07/2013 02:34:22 AM 1197 Views
Neverwhere is quite easily his worst novel. Stephen - 18/07/2013 10:50:25 AM 1152 Views
Just to test a pet theory of mine... Legolas - 18/07/2013 06:33:51 PM 1056 Views
I haven't read Lions of al-Rassan. *NM* Stephen - 19/07/2013 12:06:25 PM 462 Views
I want to learn about your theory! Ghavrel - 20/07/2013 10:15:51 AM 1090 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 1079 Views
I read Tigana first, but much prefer Lions. Rebekah - 20/07/2013 12:49:10 PM 1151 Views
Yeah, I think we discussed that before. The exception that confirms the rule? Legolas - 20/07/2013 01:19:46 PM 1048 Views
I read Lions after Tigana. MonCul - 27/07/2013 02:59:47 AM 1177 Views

Yeah, Neverwhere isn't too great. beetnemesis - 18/07/2013 07:14:06 PM 1016 Views
I love Neverwhere. Rebekah - 20/07/2013 12:50:10 PM 1017 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 1063 Views
I'm with you on that. MonCul - 27/07/2013 03:03:53 AM 1153 Views
Actually, I do agree that it's a bit overrated. Nate - 27/07/2013 05:30:41 PM 1241 Views
I never really liked 1602 Stephen - 28/07/2013 02:12:54 PM 1117 Views
It was probably the novelty that I liked. Nate - 04/08/2013 05:18:58 AM 1012 Views
He's definitely a good writer but not a personal favorite Isaac - 27/07/2013 02:24:25 AM 1135 Views
