Summary: its better than bad, its good
Review: Neil Gaiman manages to spin together an excellent web using his "death" character from his Sandman series. The hook: Death isn't a morbid spectre, but a perky and likeable goth chick. Every century, she gets the chance to spend one day on Earth, the better to explore humanity from the other side of the black veil. The story of how she spends her day is interesting and uplifting, casual and sort of realistic. The other main character, Sexton, is someone you can really sympathize with. This is really a quirky and interesting book, and aside from the wonderful story you can revel in Chris Bachalo's beautiful artwork, which blends beautifully with Neils words. Basically, this book is tons of fun and you can read again and again. Gaiman or comic fans should definately pick this up.

Review: He's been better. The plot creaks and meander

Summary: Death is beautifully grotesque.
Review: This book brings together the ethereal art of Dave McKean, the amazing words of Neil Gaiman and a touch of life with words and pictures of Tori Amos. Death is such an attractive character which makes the whole thing rather ironic. All in all it is a definite wonder and everyone should get their own copy...:)

Summary: BUY THIS!
Review: This is the most amazing thing I have EVER read. It's written beautifully and you like the characters in it. It explains the characters' personalities, backgrounds, all except the mysterious Didi... who you're not supposed to know much about anyway. BUY THIS!!

Summary: GREAT
Review: This is one of the first works by Neil Gaiman that I've read and has led me to love all his other works. The Sandman chronicles are a series of carefully planned out and seductive books, that grab you in and entrance.

Summary: Life, Death, and everything in between
Review: Neil Gaiman, an amazing author that knows how to bring a story to life and does so in this book. It is a great read for those who have never read any of his works, especially those who were too young at the time of it's creation to bother with a comic that didn't have flashy heroes in it. I have read it many a time, but mostly when I am feeling down. This book will make you realize how short life really is, and it will help you to appreciate each and every day on this earth. Anyhow, I hope you people out there will give this one a read, you won't be disappointed. Sincerely, A.J.

Summary: Death takes a holiday....
Review: Death spends one day as a mortal each century, to understand what it means to be the barrier between life and everything else... Gaiman is masterful here as usual. "Didi" spends a day with Sexton, a youth who's considering suicide, and her enthusiasm for the world makes him realize that maybe life is worth living. But Gaiman's tale is not sappy, or overly moral - it's simply a reminder that the most important thing to do in your life is to stop and remember you're alive. As Sexton says, "It would be nice if Death was like Didi... someone funny, and friendly, and maybe a little crazy." In Gaiman's poignant work (perfectly rendered by Chris Bachalo), Death becomes something worth living for.

Summary: a different kind of comic book
Review: i found the story a little shallow (it was no Akira) but then again I don't know much about the rest of the Sandman series. The art was really beautiful and the layout was very well done. It did however, make me want to go out and find more Gaiman stuff
