| | Customer Reviews: Watchmen forever! (17 November 2008)I have always been a graphic novel buff ever since buying Hitman & Preacher in my late teens. And now in my early 30's I came across an old box containing my old graphic novels, I felt that I struck gold! I loved the V for Vendetta movie and decided to purchase the V for Vendetta graphic novel and found it gripping, intense and incredible (not that I'm a non-conformist!). Thus leading me to Watchmen. What can I say, WOW! This is my second read of Watchmen within a month. It's definately better reading it again & again! It is imperative to read Watchmen before the movie. So, what are you waiting for.....go & buy it!!!!! !!!!!!GREAT!!!!!!!! (15 November 2008)I didn't really know what to expect from this book.I bought V for Vendeta {by the same author Alan Moore} because of it's positive feedback but after reading it for a couple of hous I knew that I would be giving it negative.So as you can imagine I was a little bit wary of buying Watchmen but boy am I glad I did.Right away from the fdirst page I was hooked by its compelling story and often had to fight with myself to put it down.The characters are ingaging (Rosoach especially) and are all totaly different.The art (Dave Gibbons) is amsing and fits so well with Moores story tellig.I could go on for hours about all the good things this book has to over but basiclliy !!!JUST BY IT!!!!! Surprisingly great (30 October 2008)Recently, I have reached a part in my life in which I have gone back to reading comics. This is not a comic. This is one of the finist pieces of literature I have ever read. Alan Moore is is a very good writer, getting across the themes of this book, and has defined how good books should be written in the graphic novel form. A very good book. NOT A COMIC. The Most Depressing Story Ever Told (24 October 2008)Alan Moore is a genius of the very worst kind. He produces work which you have to read, because frankly it's brilliant, but which you really don't want to, because fundamentally it's horrible. Well, except Voice Of The Fire. Even an endorsement by Neil Gaiman couldn't put a shine on that. Watchmen, however, is fantastic. I don't want to give it five stars, but it pries them from my begrudging hands. I have never come across a work of art so good which left me feeling so bleak and hopeless. If you're questioning your faith in humanity, or feeling at all bummed about the world, you might want to wait a bit before picking this up. Don't say I didn't warn you. I did. This is me, warning you. Still a good vintage (22 October 2008)I hadn't read this since it was first out, and boy it has still got what it takes to be a classic. I will agree some points of the book have dated but then again hasn't dickens? its a book of its time, but should be read and remembered always | |
