The tittle tells it all, this is about many brief lives of mortals and Endless too as Morpheus and Delirium are set on a journey to find their missing brother. If the Gaiman's story is great, the artwork is absolutely amazing. I actually found myself sighing out loud at the beginning of the book when Morpheus is drawned depressed because his girlfriend has left him. And the end, after he's killed Orpheus and is shown in his realm, sitting in his chair, alone... heartbreaking.
