844 and counting …

Finished The Sandman: Brief Lives by Neil Gaiman.

In this one, Dream and his sister, Delirium, go searching for their brother Destruction, who abandoned his kingdom three hundred years ago. I don’t particularly care for the character of Delirium — she just seems rather silly and pointless to me. (I like Death much better). And I really don’t like how Delirium’s dialogue is presented. The little squiggly words can be really hard to read sometimes.

But the story was interesting, and it was nice to finally meet the last of the Endless — Destruction, who spends his time creating bad paintings and even worse poetry.

So, thumbs up.

Up next: More Sandman.
