I always liked Dream because of his "jerkiness", because after Death points it out to him (in the issue "The Sound of Her Wings") he actually tries to stop being such a big jerk.
Although it rambles all over, as dreams often do, I feel the story from that point on is Dream's attempts to be less of a jerk. Sometimes he succeeds, and sometimes he fails. Just like the rest of us.
Also, John Constantine is absolutely incredible. He's not a girl, or he would likely have been my choice.

I guess I think it is worth reading, just not as good as American Gods.
I get that Dream is supposed to be flawed, brave, selfish, basically good... I guess it was his surrender before the Kindly Ones that I disliked the most (even though I guess he understood what being "Endless" meant perhaps better than any of the others, even Death)
and I agree on Constantine... the movie was horrible but I think nearly every comic book Ive read has been awesome.
