Yeah, that sounds right. I think I admire it more than I like it? There was a lot to like about it but, maybe too challenging for me right now.
I can handle the Oz Full Monty. I mean, not 'handle' handle.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

About halfway through Audible's version of The Sandman. It's very weird to just what I am so used to seeing, but I'm liking it. I'm not sure I'm sold on James McAvoy's voice - not that it's wrong it's just not what I imagined from the font somehow. I had to look up who he is, too. He's been in a whole lot of things I haven't seen.
And I was sure that it was Kristen Schaal Playing Death but it's apparently Kat Dennings. Would not have guessed I could get those two so completely mixed up.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
They both have voices that manage to be both nasal and husky, so I can see mixing them up without a visual.
What I can't see is either of them being right to read Death's speech bubbles.

We'll see how she works out as I go on, but so far Ms Denning is working better for me than I would have thought.

I started listening to The Sandman and I'm not sure how I feel about it. It's okay, but I think it will work better for someone who doesn't essentially have the comics memorized. There's something about the expanded descriptions in the narration that are falling flat for me. I know they were developed from all of the notes to the artists in the original script, but they don't hit the sweet spot of descriptive enough without overwhelming the rest of the story.
I'll probably stick with it through "A Death in the Family", out of cautious curiosity for my favorite.

Yeah the descriptions more remind me of the images than are fully evocative. I have been thinking it would be an interesting exercise to listen to this while simultaneously reading the comics.
I somehow didn't realize until just now that it's only through Midsummers Nights Dream. I suppose I should have known from the running time it wasn't complete, but I did assume.

Anyone looking for a medieval gay romance, check out The Scottish Boy by Alex de Campi. It's a good read.

I love how good-natured all the well-actuallys are in the comments.

Even the people who didn't like it were kind. Which I love. It's got just enough history to be tasty but accuracy? Not what I was looking for.
It had some good cliff hanging chapters which were wrapped up rather quickly. I crowdsourced the ebook but I will buy a copy because I enjoyed it. The author is recording the audio and I hope it turns our good. I will probably try that one, too.
