Many did skip it due to Neil Gaiman turning out to be a colossal pos.

Such a shame because the actor who they got to play Morpheus is perfect but i tossed it out along with my signed copy of American Gods. What a disappointment for everyone involved.

I never got too into Gaiman's work. I remember liking The Graveyard Book as a kid and I read the first bit of The Sandman in anticipation of the show's first season and was planning to read more. So I was definitely about to become a big fan, but then he turned out to be a monster.
