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 1182 Views
Hm. OK, I'll give this a shot. beetnemesis - 17/07/2013 12:11:19 AM 1293 Views
Nate did a great job, so I'll just add to what he said. Stephen - 17/07/2013 12:42:44 PM 1211 Views
MY experience was his novel Neverwhere... everynametaken - 18/07/2013 02:34:22 AM 1113 Views
Neverwhere is quite easily his worst novel. Stephen - 18/07/2013 10:50:25 AM 1073 Views
Just to test a pet theory of mine... Legolas - 18/07/2013 06:33:51 PM 985 Views
I haven't read Lions of al-Rassan. *NM* Stephen - 19/07/2013 12:06:25 PM 421 Views
I want to learn about your theory! Ghavrel - 20/07/2013 10:15:51 AM 994 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 1004 Views
I read Tigana first, but much prefer Lions. Rebekah - 20/07/2013 12:49:10 PM 1074 Views
Yeah, I think we discussed that before. The exception that confirms the rule? Legolas - 20/07/2013 01:19:46 PM 977 Views
I read Lions after Tigana. MonCul - 27/07/2013 02:59:47 AM 1096 Views

Yeah, Neverwhere isn't too great. beetnemesis - 18/07/2013 07:14:06 PM 947 Views
I love Neverwhere. Rebekah - 20/07/2013 12:50:10 PM 934 Views
Just read Neverwhere already! A Deathwatch Guard - 20/07/2013 04:50:09 AM 1037 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 986 Views
I'm with you on that. MonCul - 27/07/2013 03:03:53 AM 1076 Views
Actually, I do agree that it's a bit overrated. Nate - 27/07/2013 05:30:41 PM 1158 Views
I never really liked 1602 Stephen - 28/07/2013 02:12:54 PM 1035 Views
It was probably the novelty that I liked. Nate - 04/08/2013 05:18:58 AM 926 Views
He's definitely a good writer but not a personal favorite Isaac - 27/07/2013 02:24:25 AM 1065 Views
