The Doll's House (Sandman, Book 2)

Rating:
Summary: The best arc in a great series . . .
Review: This is the best of the Sandman collected volumes. It is frightening, lyrical, and moving all the same time. Gaiman really knows how to tell a story, and the occasional cliched language in some of the other volumes is not apparent here. This is sharp writing--- and gorgeous artwork--- from beginning to end.

Summary: A confusing, but enjoyable read
Review: Well I liked this book, loved it even, but I have to wonder just how Neil Gaiman gets away with straying from the path of his main plot so often. The Doll's House is literally a seven-part story called The Doll's House, but this is totally misleading. It is, in fact, a four, maybe five part story called The Doll's House, the rest being stories that must have just appealed to Neil at the time of writing. And, honestly, the stories that stray from the path are the best in the book. This is much better than the first Sandman book, but [contrary to what another reviewer said] is not as dark. This lacks a truly incredible chapter, such as the chapter in Preludes and Nocturnes when Morpheus travels to hell, but the whole book is excellent all in all. Definitely worth reading.

Summary: Amazing
Review: What can I say. This book crushes everything you know. It shows that everything that we see, everything that we hope, is meaninless. It replaces what you believe with somethings else. it is devestating information, but also hopeful at the sametime. Gaimans writing is at its best here. It touches you and makes you feel like you are part of something bigger. At first the art seem immature, and looks like there was little effort put into it. But once you get to understand the characters, and the story, everything look beautiful.
