Moore as the iconoclast, unparalleled writer finally rears his head within the context of this read through of his full body of work...i feel this is truly the inception of all of his best preoccupations, his finest tricks, his ability to weave conspiracy and history and magic and fiction into something greater than the sum of its parts...here Moore is not the deconstructionist but the alchemist, crafting an epic tome that is surprisingly empathetic to all involved

an immaculate portrait of a time and place and condition that reveals the relation of history and social fascination to the present and future...not to mention Campbell's astounding art and sequencing, an approach to this material that emphasizes vivid emotional truths in place of careful composition...just a book of soaring, pure Feeling...one of those books that changes how i look at things forever

DID NOT FINISH: 78%

I think I'm just not a fan of Alan Moore's works. I struggled through Watchmen. The font choice in From Hell did not make things easy either, it was very difficult to make out what certain words were meant to be, add in the written out London accents and you have an incomprehensible mess at times.

I really tried hard with this and I have only heard good things but I just can't do it.

I was having a really good day and then I finished reading this and with a smile half-formed on my lips, embraced the imagined reprieve of suicide while on the train home. 40 minutes into the journey and the train stops, facing an indefinite delay because of a jinshin jiko; a ‘human-related accident’. Japan is not unknown for these. Everyone on the train remained entirely within their private-public world, all quietly aware of our own journeys interrupted by a distant suicide. I began to feel it was my fault, a little bit, for reading and enjoying something so throughly despair-inducing. Moore lends himself well to a little magical thinking. Cautiously recommended.
