Somehow, Sandman speaks to me and clicks well. I really enjoy the stories, execution and immersive fun it brings while walking the Dog.
The story telling and the performances in this book is ridiculously awesome. With that, I think I discovered my own problem with much of Gaiman's work, and it is specifically my problem not a dig against Gaiman. His works are incredibly dense and for me require significant focus to make sure I pick up the smaller details that will become important later.
I read all of the graphic novels after the series had finished with Vertigo/DC, and I remember having to read it in solitude. I was collecting comics in the early and mid 90s and actually purchased issue #50, Ramadan, which is the last chapter of this performance. It holds pretty true to the original if I'm remembering things correctly. I didn't really understand the issue when I purchased it, so it is the only original Sandman comic that I own.

I only read the GNs once, but it's possible that I was intent on focusing for details because I know where the story will go. I know the importance of Daniel, so I really want to understand his story. I now realize why Desire was so angry with her brother, and I love that story, The Emperor of New York.
Listening to this really makes me excited for part three, which I'm hoping will include The Kindly Ones.
