"This is a beautiful book, a beautiful piece of folklore, beautifully illustrated. It is not told in the usual Sandman comic style, but in a longer prose format, and the illustrations and prose complement each other perfectly. It can work as a standalone story, but is richer if you are already familiar with the Sandman universe. It's a haunting story with what is probably the most gorgeous artwork in the entire series. I loved it."
"I suppose I'm coming at this a little backwards, since this is the first Sandman I've read. It struck me as odd, but cool nonetheless, that the titular character is so obliquely involved in the story. The move from a simple fable (you have to love talking animals that make wagers and can turn into people) to a more complex narrative was well done. I'm a little undecided on the story in its own right, but it has piqued my interest in the rest of the series, if nothing else."
"Gaiman + Amano is a pairing that's like a dream come true, pun intended. Gaiman blends his Sandman characters with a Japanese fable and Amano, the artist and character designer behind many Final Fantasy games illustrates. It's beautiful, and while some video game fans complain that Amano is a one-trick pony, I think that having more of his signature style can only be a good thing."
"I think I loved this artwork more than any other so far from The Sandman series. Which is strange, considering that I really enjoy looking at The Endless and their features, and in this one Dream is background material to the main story.
This story is beautiful. It's beautifully told, and amazing to read. The artwork is so amazing, it feels like it should be hung on a wall instead of being hidden away in a book. Just so beautiful to look at, and so fun to read.
I tend to read all forwards and post scripts on books, and that is especially true with ones written by Neil Gaiman. I loved his notes on this, and his explanation of the original Japanese folk tale. I hope the original is as beautiful as this retelling."
