The Sandman Act II
The Sandman Act II | Neil Gaiman, Dirk Maggs
9 posts | 7 read | 1 to read
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).

As immensely entertaining as Act I, this installment of Neil Gaiman‘s ‘The Sandman‘ has more “short stories” than Act I (in keeping with its comic/graphic novel brethren). James McAlvoy still shines as Morpheus/Dream. Kat Dennings delights as his sister, Death. The casting is superb, and I could listen to Gaiman narrate a telephone directory.

Dream has handed Hell over to its new owner who seemingly makes the torture worse than Lucifer, himself, could propagate. Dream frees its ancient love, Nada, from the demons of Hell and grants her new life in a baby born into the modern world. Even the twists have turns in a Gaiman story.

Hell is closed. Lucifer has quit. Dream is bequeathed the Key to Hell making him the sole owner of the empty land. And everyone wants a piece.

So good. Gaiman is a genius.

This year has been far more complicated than last. This is only my fourth book of the year.

KathyWheeler I have the Sandman 1 audio but haven‘t listened to it yet. How is it on audio? 2y
Awk_Word_Smith @KathyWheeler I ❤️ it. Neil Gaiman narrates. The cast is perfect. It‘s more than an audiobook — it‘s a radio play from the 40s: War of the Worlds epic. 2y
KathyWheeler @Awk_Word_Smith Thanks. I really need to start listening to it. 2y

#Booked2023 @Cinfhen @alisiakae @BarbaraTheBibliophage - Does this work as any part of a trilogy?

Disappointing. Lots of great narrators.

Yet, there were episodes that had little to do with the overall narrative, but were still necessary, which made the whole audioplay drag on unnecessarily.

TheSpineView Bummer! 2y
IndoorDame I‘m so intrigued by the idea of this as audio only, and my interest is even more piqued because the reviews I‘ve seen are all over the place. I think I‘m too attached to the artwork to actually try it out myself, but I love seeing what others think 2y
julesG @IndoorDame Act I was great. You might want to give it a try. Maybe #BorrowNotBuy if you can get it somewhere. 2y

Bk2 of September is done. I managed to finish a beanie while #audioknitting to two books! Only problem,in trying to make sure it was big enough for the hubs, I made it a bit too big🤭Whoops. The 2nd Sandman full cast audiobook wasn‘t as great as the 1st,not enough Morpheus & stories with unsatisfying endings. But still an enjoyable listen, especially with John Lithgow & Bill Nighy voicing characters.👍 #BookspinBingo #SeriesRead2022 #LitsyCrafters

Yes. Bk1 of September is done🙌This was actually The Sandman Act I but it‘s not in the database, I don‘t know why. This audiobook was fantastic! A full cast recording that comprises Vol 1,2 & 3 plus a few extra tales, it stars James McEvoy as Morpheus, Michael Sheen as Lucifer & Neil Gaiman himself as narrator. I highly highly recommend a listen🎧 The #audioknitting project is the chunky slouch beanie for the hubby. #LitsyCrafters #BookspinBingo

Librariana Gorgeous choice of yarn! Love the colors 😊 2y
Lizpixie @Librariana thanks! The hubby actually chose the colour and went to the yarn store himself. Unfortunately he only got 2 skeins which isn‘t enough & do you think I can find more Malabrigo Rasta wool in Tundra anywhere? Course not🙄So the top will now be Cape Cod Grey instead🤷🏻‍♀️ 2y
