Excellent and chilling	Customer Rating:
Yet another perfectly crafted authoritarian horror story, reminiscent of Brave New World or 1984. Plotting, pacing, artwork, all top notch. A must read for everyone.

Don't read this with a closed mind

Customer Rating:

If you encountered the movie first and are merely following up on the book, keep one thing in mind. This is how the story was originally intended. Initially, when I read that Alan Moore was not happy about how the movie turned out, I was puzzled. However, after going back and reading this original Graphic Novel, I now understand why. The movie (while providing for it's intended effect) leaves a multitude of things out. The story is much more complicated and the characters are provided much more depth herein. In fact, anarchy aside, I would say that this graphic novel is a completely different story. It's a must grab.

Is the warning of this classic tale all that far off from the big brother induced haze some of the west is seeping into currently? A must read.

Moore Might Know Better...

Customer Rating:

I find myself more compelled to write this review based upon Mr. Bernabo's "insightful review". He claims that fascism means that "the ends justify the means". Well...not exactly. That is more Machiavelli than anything else. Fascism simply means that the state is put above else; one must have a religious-like admiration for their country to qualify as fascist. An anarchist can believe that their ends justify the means (i.e. killing innocents to ensure chaos) just as a statist can believe the same thing (much more noticeable, as many fasicsts/communists have killed to maintain their order). Okay, with that aside, let me just say that this is a good work. It portrays a direct contrast between anarchy and totalitarianism, with the extreme V representing the former and Adam Susan as a symbol of the latter. We are reflected by Evey Hammond, who is able through her journey to make her own mind about it all, and who we are meant to sympathize with. Ultimately, as much as I dislike Alan Moore (and believe him to be highly overrated, seriously comic-book nerds, go read Moby-Dick or something) this is a fine work. If at least it makes you pause and think about our world, even if you dismiss the ideas afterward, it has accomplished one of its goals.

V for Vendetta Graphic Novel	Customer Rating:
The V for Vendetta Graphic Novel is an astounding book. It is the depiction of the movie (if you watched it first like I did) and it is a more in-depth look at Codename V. I recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of: V for Vendetta the motion picture, graphic novels, or even comic books. (since it so closely relates to one)
