Instructions

De: Neil Gaiman

Narrado por: Neil Gaiman

Trust Dreams.
Trust your heart,
and trust your story.

A renowned storyteller, whose words have transported readers and listeners to magical realms, guides a traveler safely through lands unknown and yet strangely familiar...

...and home again.

Touch the wooden gate in the wall you never saw before, say "please" before you open the latch, go through, walk down the path....The listener is invited on a lyrical journey peopled by a cast of mythical characters, with a set of instructions that is both intriguing and reassuring. The advice for travelling through a fairytale landscape might just save you from being eaten by wolves or being lost forever, but it is also a charming metaphor for living courageously and taking risks. The expressive and stylish prose resonates with Gaiman's distinctive voice and will captivate listeners of any age.

I wish they did a complete collection of all his little short stories, instead of individual ones.

Enchanting

Neil Gaiman has perhaps the most mesmerizing narrative voice I've ever heard. I could listen to him read all day.

n. gaiman is beyond brilliant in his storytelling.

Wasn't what I expected

What did you like about this audiobook?

I suppose this could be considered cute. A magical journey condensed into 3 minutes. In the end I wanted more. More insight, more writing, more everything.

How has the book increased your interest in the subject matter?

So so

Does the author present information in a way that is interesting and insightful, and if so, how does he achieve this?

He narrows down the tropes of a fantastical adventure. Things you might find in any story. So in that it was enchanting.

What did you find wrong about the narrator's performance?

Nothing wrong with that

Do you have any additional comments?

I wanted something more substantial from the Master.

Gorgeous

It's true that this is not quite as good without the pictures, but there's still something so personal and magical about this story which is the quintessence of fairy tales. And Gaiman reading it is ... *chef's kiss*

Absolutely, wonderfully, fantastical.

Such a fun summery of what to do in a fantastical world. I play “Instructions” between projects and quite often to gain inspiration during the mundane work hours. Very fun, indeedy.
