I was curious to read Sandman (a classic, yet I've never read it!) but it wasn't in when I checked out books so I got this. Neil Gaiman is legendary and this work has so much in it - the universe, time, magic and science . . . Yet it didn't resonate for me. I think I would have really enjoyed it as a teenager. At this point in my life, I could appreciate all that went into creating this story of a teen boy - Timothy Hunter - who is approached by four mysterious men (an unnamed man shows him the past, John Constantine introduces him to other magicians, Doctor Occult / Rose shows him the far lands (fairyland), and Mister E shows him the future).
