The Dream King Challenge Blog: February 2009

The Dream King Challenge Blog. Monday, February 16, 2009. Many people have read this book by now, the tale of a boy Bod brought up by ghosts in a graveyard. This is my first Neil Gaiman book, and a leap from my usual type of reading. I thought it was very well written, and overall I enjoyed it. I especially liked that as different ghost were named their epitaph followed - great touch. A good book though which I did enjoy. This completes the Challenge for me - a Neophyte! Links to this post. When I realiz...

http://dreamkingchallenge.blogspot.com/2009/10/sandman-dream-country.html
The Dream King Challenge Blog. Monday, October 26, 2009. The Sandman: Dream Country. Published: 1995 Pages: 112. Dream Country contains 4 disturbing stories: Calliope, A Dream of a Thousand Cats, A Midsummer-Night's Dream, and Facade. Plus, Gaiman has included his script for Calliope which gives us insight into Gaiman's writing process on this particular story. But since this is a graphic novel, we also get to see it. Rape is so abhorrent to me that I dislike seeing it in books or films. Facade features ...

Emma by Kaoru Mori ~ things mean a lot
http://www.thingsmeanalot.com/2009/03/emma-by-kaoru-mori.html
Mar 2, 2009. Emma by Kaoru Mori. No, this is not Jane Austen Manga. But it almost could be! William and Emma get to spend some time together, and they quickly fall in love. But despite the fact that she’s intelligent and educated, Emma is only a maid, and they both know that William’s powerful family would never accept the match. I loved the setting too. What’s not to love about Victorian London? Not to mention money, of course, and the notion that it somehow it defines a person’s worth. My second foray ...

The Dream King Challenge Blog. Wednesday, November 25, 2009. To top off my Neil Gaiman reads for The Dream King Challenge, I decided to read a few short stories which are available online.

A taste is all you shall receive, a little piece of temptation which will hopefully inspire you to click on the story name and read the stories for yourself. How to Talk to Girls at Parties. Two boys wind up at the wrong party with unusual girls&...
