Amazon.com
You may have heard somewhere that Neil Gaiman's Sandman series consisted of cool, hip, edgy, smart comic books. And you may have thought, "What the hell does that mean?" Enter A Game of You to confound the issue even more, while at the same time standing as a fine example of such a description. This is not an easy book. The characters are dense and unique, while their observations are, as always with Gaiman, refreshingly familiar. Then there's the plot, which grinds along like a coffee mill, in the process breaking down the two worlds of this series, that of the dream and that of the dreamer. Gaiman pushes these worlds to their very extremes--one is a fantasy world with talking animals, a missing princess, and a mysterious villain called the Cuckoo; the other is an urban microcosm inhabited by a drag queen, a punk lesbian couple, and a New York doll named Barbie. In almost every way this book sits at 180 degrees from the earlier four volumes of the Sandman series--although the less it seems to belong to the series, the more it shows its heart. --Jim Pascoe

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I have always found this to be an underappreciated chapter in the Sandman series. I don't think people realize what Gaiman has pulled off here. Besides coming up with a fascinating adventure story and a dizzying sideline into how we categorize ourselves (profession, gender, dreams, affinities, relations), he has done something few men have ever done -- written intelligently about what it is like to be a woman and a little girl.
At first this may not seem like much, but the whole tale of Barbie's quest is inherently feminine. The dream world she inhabits is not a boys world. The questors are female (well, most of them and the last one is trying hard), and the ending turns around the whole notion of being a girl (even more than merely a child) that one of my female friends was convinced that someone TOLD Gaiman what to write!
This is also a tale of loyalty. When it all comes down, each of the characters has to make a decision based one what has happened, a decision that could ultimately change each of their lives. Surprising decisions are made, but they are understandable if you stop and think about them.
I love this volume, as I love the Sandman series in general. I only wish (as many did) that Gaiman had written some more. Like any good story, we hate to see it come to an end.

Of course it's good. All Sandman is good.
In this one, though, I'd suggest you not read Samuel Delany's foreword until you've read the book. He analyzes things as if you've read them, gives some surprises away, and generally kills the mood. It's a fine commentary; it's just that it should be an afterword.

I can agree with almost everything that's been said before here about the story of this volume - but: there seems to be a new artist in each chapter, so the drawings aren't consistent. The same characters look different in each chapter, that's something I find really annoying. And to be honest, some chapters, especially the one by Colleen Doran, are just drawn so badly it hurts. That diminishes the fun of reading this collection ...The Sandman Vol. 5: A Game of You (Sandman New Editions)

The best literature of the decade
The Sandman might be the best, most original literature of the 1990's. Since it also would certainly be better than anything movies or TV have to offer, I also would have to... Lesen Sie weiter...

Fabulous
I really don't know what to say about this volume of Sandman. It's one of the most--different. Dream is hardly in it; instead, it's about Barbie and the other tenants of her... Lesen Sie weiter...

A great story of identity and finding your inner child
Neil Gaiman does it again! He takes Barbie, a marginal character in the "Doll's House" storyline and makes her into a 3 dimensional character. Lesen Sie weiter...

The Best Sandman Story by this Point
It saddens me that people who are not intelligent enough to understand something feel the need to trash it. This is the best Sandman story up until the time it was published. Lesen Sie weiter...
