Summary: Another Excellent Story
Comment: Personally, I was dissapointed that this book was not told in traditional comic fashion (a technique he has not utilized since the Sandman series itself ended several years ago). However, DREAM HUNTERS is an excellent addition to the Sandman mythology; though it is not quite substantial enough to constitute an "Eleveth Volume" of the story (it is more approximate to one comic-sized issue). This is a moving story, which works on several levels; it is complex, with many details all the more exciting when caught, yet is simple, as a folk tale should be. This story reminds of previous Sandman tales, especially "Dream Of A Thousand Cats," "Ramadan," and "The Kindly Ones," sharing several dramatic parallels with each. After reading this story, I found myself immediately turning back the book to page one to begin again. Vintage Gaiman, DREAM HUNTERS should not be missed.

Summary: a very adult fairy tale with very pretty pictures
Comment: Gaiman is at his best in this droll folky/fairy tale for adults --- while this is not ADULT in terms of content, I really think a lot of the more subtle aspects would be lost on those who have not had considerable life experience. The lean and lyrical prose matches well with very indeed! Klimt-esque illustrations. Portraying Dream in this Eastern milieu just so vividly points up again the truly universally mythical nature of the character. I wonder at my fellow reviewers here who say they finished the book in a half-hour or less; I spent that much time per each illustration. This is a book to relax with and at great leisure, savor. Well worth the price and absolutely essential for any collections of fantasy, Gaiman, literary fairy tales, and graphic novels. A good introduction to Gaiman's other work from American Gods to the earliest Sandman collections. An elegant confection of literary and artistic matrimony.

Summary: Exquisite art, exquisite story
Comment: The illustrations and story perfectly balance, both exquisite, haunting and beautiful. I've read through the story, looking at the illustrations on the way. I've also leafed through the book just to pore over the art, with the story in mind, knowing that more details will emerge with each study. Usually, you have to go to children's lit for this caliber of picture book; finally, here's a fully realized picture book for people who have experienced a bit more of life. I only wish it had been produced in a bigger size.
