I'm of two minds about this adaptation. It's been awhile since I've read this series and the TV series is a little more fresh in my mind. I'm not entirely certain that audio is the best format for this story. It's such a visually imaginative work that I feel like a lot is lost in just describing some of the visuals rather than being able to see them either in artwork or cinematically. And, of course, it's a bit rough to hear Gaiman's voice narrate this given all the gross stories that have arisen about him.
