About this listen
Please note: This content is not for kids. It is for mature audiences only. Just like the original graphic novels, this audio adaptation contains explicit language and graphic violence, as well as strong sexual content and themes. Discretion is advised.
Enter the Dreaming again as the blockbuster audio adaptation of “the greatest epic in the history of comic books” continues in The Sandman: Act II. James McAvoy returns to voice Morpheus, the Lord of Dreams, in this sequel to the number-one New York Times audio best seller. Journey into a world of myths, imagination, and terror based on the best-selling DC comic books and graphic novels written by Neil Gaiman (returning as the Narrator), and lose yourself in another groundbreaking, immersive drama adapted and directed by the award-winning audio master Dirk Maggs.
In the absolutely packed Act II, the dark fantasy resumes and the Sandman expands into the French Revolution, ancient Rome, 19th-century San Francisco, eighth-century Baghdad, and beyond. New and familiar characters abound, voiced by a bright mix of performers, including Kat Dennings, Regé-Jean Page, Emma Corrin, Michael Sheen, Kristen Schaal, Brian Cox, John Lithgow, Jeffrey Wright, and so many more, including fan-favorite narrators Simon Vance and Ray Porter.
Just close your eyes and listen again as the greatest epic continues.
Act II of the audio series The Sandman adapts collected volumes four (Season of Mists) and five (A Game of You) of the comics in their entirety, and most of volume six (Fables & Reflections).
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

All hits and no misses.
I'm a big fan of the comics, and I'm glad to say Gaiman, Maggs and co. are right on the money in this adaptation. as perfect as it can be.
can wait for part 3, which will probably be the last part if they keep up their current pace. (I dunno, maybe they can get a part four out of the death miniseries, Overture, and the other bits they have flying around).

Storytelling at its finest
I was reticent to purchase Sandman II as I came away from the first audio offering just the tiniest bit disappointed. (It was a bit *too* Marvel universe for my tastes however still got 5 stars. It is magnificent after all.) However I am glad I took the plunge with this offering and a bit sad I didn't do it sooner. Neil Gaman is one of the greatest STORYTELLERS of his generation. The obvious research he must have done on world myths and mythology in his time ought to have earned him not just an honorary doctorate, but an actual doctorate from a top shelf University. There is absolutely no doubt he brings something new to the table. Any of his works can attest to that. Sandman II is storytelling at its absolute finest. It builds on what we know of Morpheus from The Sandman, however arguably could be listened to as a stand alone edition. It's episodic nature does not detract, and in fact really hooks into all those feel-good book reading/ listening vibes from childhood. I will watch the TV offering, but I don't expect anything of it. I don't believe it can beat this. Everything about this way of ringing the tales to life, for me, is perfect. The acting talent reads like a who's who. So much talent all bringing their best work. And Gaman himself, I could listen to him read to me for ever. I simply adore his narrative talent. If you've never heard him before purchase The Sandman (either act) just to hear him. Next top favourite is of course James McAvoy as Morpheus. Awesome. Not too many books can afford to be produced as a "radio play". The Sandman gets the full treatment and really thrills. Atmospheric moody music, excellent sound FX, the whole kitchen sink. One brilliant production from start to finish. Not only have I had a wonderful experience, I feel as if my understanding of origin myths and world folklore has been broadened and enriched as well. Just buy it.

Just brilliant
Some people may not like the short story format but thought it was brilliant! Flowed very smoothly and I found the insight into dreams and the way different people experiences the dream world vert intriguing.
The voice acting was, of course, fantastic. I was nervous about the radio play type production but it wasn't over-edites or too over the top.
Would recommend on the strength of Joanna Lumley and David Tennant's performances alone, let alone everyone else!

A bit disjointed
Sorry, just didn’t work for me. This is more a collection of short tales with Morpheus often in the periphery. There are story lines picked up from Act I but all together just didn’t flow at all.
