I think its ok but a bit adolescent really. The main character always struck me as a jerk. I think the writer kind of thought of him in those terms sometimes (although it also seems very autobiographical). Death is definitely the most likeable character. A story doesnt have to have a sympathetic character to be good, but you kind of have to care one way or the other. But its worth checking out... but I read it after I read American Gods, and it was a bit of a let down for me.
The best thing for me about Sandman was it introduced me to John Constantine.
