Yes, it's a fascinating book with sometimes engaging reading... but there's something overall that doesn't bring me the kind of satisfaction I'm looking for. Perhaps it was the conclusion itself -not that I'm a fan of the happily-ever-after. Maybe the last act build-up was too extended that it didn't pull me into the drama and I was simply waiting for it to end. Maybe I wanted to know more about V and who he was pre-Room V. Maybe it was because I read it now in 2008 and not in 1990....

I hope that the world turns and that things get better, and that one day people have roses again. 

More relevant than ever.

This is probably the most dense graphic novel I've read, which i think works in its favour. I personally quite enjoyed the movie, depsite all its flaws, and was eager to learn more about the characters and politics of the story that it missed out. I enjoyed the way the art style lent itself to the tone and themes of the book, even if some characters were occasionally a little hard to distinguish from one another. I think there are definitely points at which the movie was clearer or more cohesive than the book, however I much preferred the depth provided in the book, that the movie missed. Overall, I deeply enjoyed reading V for Vendetta, and I think its relevance to contemporary western society makes it all the more impactful.
