Description: New. This volume of Neil Gaiman's THE SANDMAN book series features the first appearance of Death, the Sandman's older sister. As Clive Barker says in his Introduction, "...there is a wonderful willful quality to this mix...slapstick comedy, mystical... read more
"Until I have time to review the entire set, I'm adding The Doll's House because it is my favorite in the Sandman series. There are many brilliant moments in the story; the older version of Little Red Riding Hood, for example, which first awakened me to the idea of what fairy tales were for, and why people told them to their children. The serial killers' convention is a stroke of genius. There are so many good things, so many reasons for people to overcome their disdain of comic books and read this one. The stories are so simple and human, but they are also big and mythic.
Watchmen is the smartest, most well-written comic book I've ever read. But Sandman remains my favorite, because of its ability to capture my imagination."
"I didn't like this as much as the first one, although it was still good. In the introduction, Clive Barker says that Gaiman assembles the Sandman stories like a ''demented cook'', throwing everything together and hoping that it sticks. That works sometimes: with this one, I just felt that Gaiman had stumbled several times into incoherence and wasn't keeping things together.
Also: am I the only person who noticed this? About two-thirds of the way through the story the only Chinese person in the comic is clearly presented as having bright yellow skin with a black person and a white person either side of her for contrast. I just don't think that is acceptable: it was one of many oddities in this comic."
"Probably deserves four stars, but this volume has always been my least favourite of the all the Sandman ones. I think it may simply be that I find Rose Walker weirdly annoying. Also, although I love "Men of Good Fortune", as the introduction of Hob Gadling, and the aside of the introduction of the Shakespeare subplot, but what is it doing in the middle of the main Doll's House story, splitting up the awesomeness of the 'Cereal' convention?
That said, this story does bring in a lot of the elements that are going to be very important later, and I know it's better than 3 stars... but Rose is REALLY annoying."
"While I enjoyed this installment of Gaiman's The Sandman series, A Doll's House felt more calculated and less raw than the first volume, Preludes and Nocturnes. In particular, the last issue fell flat for me, wrapping up the volume's central plot a little too conveniently. Overall, not a bad read, but I'm hoping for more depth and emotional complexity in later Sandman stories.
The high point of this collection was the one stand-alone story, "Men of Good Fortune," about a man who chooses not to die."
