Neil Gainman's The Sandman and Joseph Campbell: In Search of the MOdern Myth
If you are looking for another story told by Neil Gaiman - This is NOT it - this is a very well written book by stephen Rauch about the philisopical and contexual aspects of myth.

Terribly Disappointing

"Intelligent" and "scholarly" are the last words I would use to describe this book; it reads like a high school student's analysis. I was excited to see a book-length examination of both the...

This review is from: Neil Gaiman's The Sandman and Joseph Campbell: In Search of the Modern Myth (Hardcover)
This is one of the worst books i have ever read. The same quotes from the Sandman series are used over and over again and the author's personal experiences cloud any real information. "Intelligent" and "scholarly" are the last words I would use to describe this book; it reads like a high school student's analysis. I was excited to see a book-length examination of both the Sandman series and the ideas of Joseph Campbell, both of which I am extremely interested in, but this was disappointing beyond words.

This review is from: Neil Gaiman's The Sandman and Joseph Campbell: In Search of the Modern Myth (Paperback)

The book just happens to use the Sandman sieres as its primary backdrop for its discussion. All and all a very interesting book to which i would recommend, and one not be an avid fan or very knowledgable about The Sandman sieres to enjoy. Just make sure to consider it a book primarily about myth and philosophy as opposed to a book about the Sandman sieres.
