A full-cast dramatisation of Robert Graves' brilliant account of the madness and debauchery of ancient Rome, starring Tom Goodman Hill as Claudius and Derek Jacobi as Augustus. The wickedly entertaining inside story of the lives and deaths of the Imperial dynasty from Augustus to Caligula is told by their obscure relation, Claudius. In public, Claudius is a stammering, drooling weakling, whose reputation as an idiot keeps him safe from office and assassination.

Not quite the mini-series but still brilliant
Revisado: 10-26-21
I was a huge fan of the BBC mini-series and couldn't help comparing this to that. While there were, naturally, a lot of similar moments, there were also a ton of differences. Specific moments I loved from the mini-series just don't appear here, while there are scenes and characters from the audiobook that are completely absent from the mini-series. One big difference is that Herod plays a much smaller role here than he did on screen. He is still part of the story, but appears far less often and is much less important. Still, the audiobook was great in it's own right and it was a pleasure listening to Derek Jacobi playing Augustus. I will definitely listen to this again.

When The Sandman, also known as Lord Morpheus - the immortal king of dreams, stories and the imagination - is pulled from his realm and imprisoned on Earth by a nefarious cult, he languishes for decades before finally escaping. Once free, he must retrieve the three “tools” that will restore his power and help him to rebuild his dominion, which has deteriorated in his absence.

A dream come true

I was a huge fan of the original comics and the audiobook did not disappoint. The cast is top notch and they bring all the different characters to glorious life. But it is definitely Neil Gaiman's narration that makes this such a masterpiece. His descriptions bring the scenes to life and give you both a sense of dread and wonder. His narration is all original since, obviously, the comic books didn't need them. Even if you had never read Sandman I think you would enjoy this. The descriptions bring it all home and the story is glorious!

One of my dad’s favorite jokes about getting older was: “I went out for coffee when I was twenty-one and when I got back I was fifty-eight!” I get what he meant now. Time flies. My first book, If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a "B" Movie Actor, was published back in 2001 and it chronicles the adventures of a “mid-grade, kind of hammy actor" (my words), cutting his teeth on exploitation movies far removed from mainstream Hollywood. This next book, an “Act II” if you will, could be considered my “maturing years” in show business, when I began to say “no” more often and gravitated toward self-generated material. Taking stock in the overall quality of my life, I fled Los Angeles and moved to a remote part of Oregon to renew, regroup and reload. If that sounds tame, the journey from Evil Dead to Spider-Man to Burn Notice was long, with plenty of adventures/mishaps along the way. I never pictured myself hovering above Baghdad in a Blackhawk helicopter, facing a pack of wild dogs in Bulgaria, or playing an aging Elvis Presley with cancer on his penis - how can you predict this stuff? The sheer lunacy of show business is part of the fun for me and I hope you'll come along for the ride.

I loved this so much! I was always a huge fan of Ash, especially in Army of Darkness. So Bruce Campbell was always a favorite of mine and I loved spotting him in Spiderman or Burn Notice or Hercules. So naturally, when I spotted this I had to get it. I enjoyed all 7+ hours. Hearing about his adventures filming back to back movies in Sofia, Bulgaria. About being a local celebrity following a car accident in Oregon. About meeting and talking to William Shatner, Burt Reynolds, Dick Ward and others. About building a film set on his own property to shoot a small budget film with his own money. About going to Iraq to meet the troops and how he destroyed an M-1 Abrahms. And so much more I could never have guessed. The man has had one hell of an interesting career and life and is still going strong. Keep going, Ash. You're a long from done buddy.
