What a delightful book. Mrs. Streisand reads this book as if she were right in front of you telling you all the stories of her life with sincerity, spontaneity, truth and a lot of charm. 48 hours went like a breeze. I loved it.

Story
En una cálida noche siciliana, tras nadar un buen rato en las tranquilas aguas que se remansan a escasos metros de su casa a orillas del mar, Salvo Montalbano emerge de la oscuridad con las ideas más claras: la solución del caso le ronda las narices, así que sólo es cuestión de paciencia y método, para lo cual nada mejor que relajarse antes con algún manjar preparado por Adelina, su fiel asistenta.

Story
When The Sandman, also known as Lord Morpheus - the immortal king of dreams, stories and the imagination - is pulled from his realm and imprisoned on Earth by a nefarious cult, he languishes for decades before finally escaping. Once free, he must retrieve the three “tools” that will restore his power and help him to rebuild his dominion, which has deteriorated in his absence.

Wonderful adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s classic Graphic Novel
Reviewed: 11-21-20
Great performances by an all-star cast, immersive sound design, wonderful music and a very good adaptation of the original material.
I believe some listeners that have rated this audio book poorly, do not understand or are not familiar with the format of the original source material.
First, it is essential to understand that these stories come from a groundbreaking graphic novel. Some people are complaining about the intro theme music (which I loved) being played repeatedly every time a new chapter began. I actually find this to be a good choice, since some of the stories are self contained (that was also the case when the comics were originally published), and the intro helps to separate one story from the other clearly.
It is a full-cast production, so I think people who are used to the traditional one-narrator-only audio book format might find it different, but I really think that’s a treat for the listener, specially for this price, being a star filled cast. Most of the performances are top notch and I find it is a great asset for the adaptation of the material. By the way, James McAvoy was, in my opinion, the perfect choice to play Morpheus.
Finally, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it was Neil Gaiman himself that played the narrator. He does a splendid job. His voice is both pleasant, enigmatic and enthralling.
In conclusion: I loved it!
