I'll add my voice to the crowd's: keep reading. I aallcuty was fairly wowed by  Preludes and Nocturnes  but it's different for each person. For instance,  A Game of You  (Caitlin's favorite) is one of my least favorite additions, same for  Dream Country  (interesting but far from the better ones). Meanwhile, I think vol. 6-9 are all absolutely brilliant. And 4 and 10 are incredibly special and fascinating as well. Everybody likes different parts to the series for different reasons but it doesn't change the fact: the Sandman is genius.It's not even just the story. It's not the art (The Kindly Ones is, in particular, bizarrely drawn but you'll understand why once you read it). It's not even Gaiman's ever excellent writing. It's the whole process, the bigger picture and the way that nothing is as meaningless as it seems. Nothing. No character is left pale and empty, no scene is not fully developed. Things constantly surprise and (perhaps more importantly) amaze.I know the hype can be disconcerting (and yes, I realize I've added quite a bit to it) but the series is truly brilliant. I'm not going to pretend that there aren't people who dislike it   there are. But sometimes people dislike one book more than the others, even when others might like it quite a bit. So again, my recommendation: stick with it. I hope you find the later books more satisfying.
