Publisher's Summary
A man awakens, adrift in deep space, with little memory of who he is - only to discover that he is the commander of a space mission; the rest of the crew is gone; and he is apparently a writer of some small renown named Neil Gaiman.
The Neil Gaiman at the End of the Universe is perfect for fans of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and Black Mirror. It stars Neil Gaiman as... well, you know, and Jewel Staite (Firefly; Stargate Atlantis), and is written by Arvind Ethan David, executive producer of Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.
Please note: Proceeds obtained by the producer from sales of this audio project will benefit This Is My Brave, a nonprofit organization that seeks to break the stigma of mental illness, alcoholism and substance abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and more through the power of live storytelling.

Simple and interesting.
This is my first Audible book. Loved it. Narration was effective. Story was ok but liked it as not too complicated.

Short and sweet
I will be honest when the mini novel started, I got the vibe of the movie moon. Was not really looking forward to it. But true to his element Neil Gaiman turned the story on its head to a completely new direction. You may or may not like it but it’s definitely worth the listen.

Fantastic Narration
I didn’t know Neil Gaiman was such a good narrator! The story was good and it was funny hearing Gaiman talk about his own work. Definitely worth a listen!

Neil Gaiman
It was a fun little experience. I've always been a fan of the man... and he's great as a narrator. It's a really interesting little story and conclusion... a little too little actually. would have loved if it was longer....

Seems like the inspiration of “project Hail Mary”
Extremely short but seems to have given the idea for the audible project Hail Mary by Andy weir

Although a short story, I loved the immersive experience and the beautiful narration. A good 30 minutes read that keeps you on your toes.

Still hits close to home in /2020-too/
Neil's voice has a soothing familiarity in this self-aware and at times /lofty/ little post-pandemic piece—a life-affirming reminder of what it means to Be.

Delightful, but read Neil’s books first
First of all, this book is actually narrated by Neil Gaiman himself. It’s tragic that he doesn’t do more narration, because both his acting and his voice is amazing.
And second, this is a delightful short story with both a cute story and plenty of meta-commentary for Gaiman fans.
That said, if you are not already a fan of Neil's, I don’t think you’ll enjoy this as much. There are many references to his other works and if you are not familiar with them then some of the story will be lost on you.

Fun quick listen
A short, eye-opening little story to encourage people to be aware of the issues linked with isolation and how negatively it can affect you, if you let it.

An absolute treat for Neil fans!!
Loved this!! Its short (barely an hour long) but incredibly fun and engaging. The mystery (no spoilers) as to why popular Fantasy writer Neil Gaiman (yes THE Neil as the title suggests) finds himself suddenly and inexplicably stuck in a tiny derelict space craft at the end of the known universe with only a sarcastic A.I. (voiced by Firefly's Jewel see) as his only company.
Even casual fans of the author should take a chance in this beautifully crafted love letter to the author and his works while simultaneously weaving a wonderful allegory about depression, mental illness and recovery. 5 ⭐ all around.

Quick, quirky, fun
There is not a better person who could have read this than the man himself. It's truly a delight, and well worth checking out. The ending is abrupt, but it's like having to end a really great lunch with a well known friend.

now I want to read Neil Gaiman
interesting, fun short story. I'm not particularly smart or perceptive. a part of me thinks the whole idea behind this was to get readers to read more Neil Gaiman. well it worked on me. maybe I should read some Arvind Ethan David as well.

Interstellar Meditation
Props first to the author, Arvind Ethan David, for a fracking great story. I floated alongside maybe-Neil, drifting through the space up above and the space between my ears. It’s such a good story that you can feel the Real-Neil’s admiration as he performs it. The production was also epic...just enough background sound and song to create a peaceful headspace. Much love all around. Thank you.

I expected too much, but a good performance
I enjoy Neil Gaiman's books and was excited about a short space adventure especially with Arvind Nathan Davies involvement and the work he did with Dirk Gently which am also a huge fan.
There were times where I felt this was more of an advert to sell more books while also looking at the importance of story telling during lockdown. I bought this at half price and I still feel like maybe that was too much for 29 minutes. this feels like it should have been included with membership on off podcast. the performance is it's redeeming quality Neil Gaiman playing himself was very good and the effects of the ship were immersive.

So who knew mister Gaiman had more than 1 string to his bow, quite a good voice actor as well as an author, a nice little story just to pass a few minutes or a fill your lunch break definitely worth a listen

Not really a story
Not really a story. Great point that reading books or listening to them helps enormously, helps people not to feel isolated, but it’s not really a story.

Neil Gaiman’s dulcet tones
Anything involving Neil Gaiman comes highly recommended by me. It was interesting to hear him voice someone else's words. Super work.

very meta
by writing continuously, the author has become forever edged into history, but at the same time, lost in his writing, he has written himself into oblivion, all the way to the end of the universe, of his world...eventually putting himself into a story about his oblivion, at the end of the universe, quite self-aware.
this is the start of the story. quite cute. love the wittiness of it. a compliment to Neil Gaiman (from another author who we can only assume is a fan), performed by Neil Gaiman.
great short story!
...and i do believe the "whenwolf" IS a good idea.

Love books that have effects close your eyes while listening to the book and try and picture the motions of what he is reading if that makes sense

Not a keeper
Even for free, and short as it is, this is a waste of time. I don’t know how they persuaded Neil Gaiman to do the audio but even his competent reading does not save this. And IMO sound effects don’t improve an audiobook, they detract from it.
