This was my bedside book for months, but I didn't open it until a few days ago for whatever reason. I really enjoyed it, and the story was more cohesive than the first volume, with the same tangential "mini-stories" that I enjoyed from the first.
When dealing with something like dreams.. well, there's a lot you can do with it. A lot of places you can go. Gaiman is essentially only limited to his imagination, and it is clear enough now that he is in no short supply of that. I especially enjoyed the issue about the "deathless man". It reminded me of old fairy tales, similar to those that can be found in something like Howard Pyle's, Twilight Land. And as much as I enjoyed that issue, I was equally disturbed by the "cereal convention". Very disturbed, in fact. As much as these books are Fantasy, they contain horror elements as well; something I was fond of in the Dark Tower.
Overall, I really liked it. I am curious to see if the plot line in this volume will affect the story moving forward, or if each will be relatively self contained. Only one way to find out!
