�Ҳ���������’s Sandman is such a brilliant and creative series; yet, for all that Dream does not have much personality. Death is a far better character.

“It's no harder to be nice than it is to be creepy. And it's much more fun.��



I love what Gaiman has done with her. Death is the end, but she is also something we will all have to accept with open arms. There’s no escaping her and perhaps that’s why she is so welcoming here. It is fate that we will one day meet her. And she’s so likable; she has a big smile and an even bigger heart. The people she meets cannot resist her charm and easy going manner. They like her. They want to be around her and one day they will be forevermore.

In these issues a young boy wishes for her. He is a typical teenager, broody, moody and full of self-loathing. He hates his life and he wants it all to end. Death appears. Instead of taking him she makes him realise that life is, in fact, worth living. His attitude was wrong. He failed to see beyond his own situation and understand that others were far more unfortunate than him. Death taught him a lesson: she taught him that life must come first.

"It always ends. That’s what gives it value."



So I have only good things to say about this: it’s wise, funny and perfectly balanced- go read it!
