Neil Gaiman is such a generous writer and this story, with its ever expanding narrative corners, is a perfect expression of his writerly attitude of abundance. Though this story starts out like any comic book affair, what Gaiman does with his characters, and central questions, as soon as the first arc completes is what makes it special. I highly recommend this to anyone, particularly anyone who hasn't had the opportunity to take comics seriously in the past.

I'd nearly given in up during the initial chapters. But after the setting was established the narrative switched to Morpheus's viewpoint, and it got more interesting. Still very weird though. All of the stories were about dreams, and each had a dream-like, surreal quality. Tending toward the nightmarish. And worse nightmares than I'd ever had.
