4.0 out of 5 stars An elegant fable about fame its human consequences, 1 Jun 2001
By ettet_mdal@yahoo.co.uk (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Death: the time of your life (Paperback)
I don't think I'm the only person to have fallen in love with Death, who is certainly Neil Gaiman's most popular and possibly his most original character, and while he himself may not consider this his best work, any story that gives us more of her can only be a good thing. 'The Time of Your Life' may not quite be the transcendental, life-affirming experience that the first Death outing ('The High Cost of Living') was, it's message and philosophy, as well as character development, are more focused. Death herself plays a fairly minor role, with the relationship between the two real leads, Hazel and Foxglove, being plausibly and sympathetically explored. This means that we get less of Death's profound and amusing soundbites, and have to make do for the most part with the sight of her (very pretty) face, but given the quality of the rest of the writing, this isn't as bad as it might sound. Before you read this, you should probably have got through most of the Sandman series (or at least the 'A Game of You' storyline), and the previous Death book.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Cutest Face Of Death, 19 Aug 2003
This review is from: Death: the time of your life (Paperback)
Wow, I mean wow. I never knew of Death, the Sandman or any of the Endless before I read this book, thanks to this piece of work I can now proudly say "IM A FAN OF THE SANDMAN AND THE SPIN-OFF BOOKS BY GUM".

Thank you Neil Gaiman for opening my eyes to this and all your other works.

BTW: Death is such a babe

5.0 out of 5 stars The best graphic novel I've read, 22 Feb 2004
This review is from: Death: the time of your life (Paperback)
I've read a fair few graphic novels and read Neil Gaiman's work in particular. I have to say that this is THE BEST I've ever read. Witchy gothic lesbian rock chic, oh yeah! I got the book out of the library to read and now I'm ordering it on Amazon because I don't want to let it go. Oooh it's good.
