Watchmen by Alan Moore

4.0

---

First of all, this is not a quick read. Sometimes I found myself invested in two pages for ten minutes. Second, this is nothing like what I was expecting. There is so much philosophy and existentialism in this book which I'm cool with, but was definitely an overload. How the overall plot was wrapped around and twisted was interesting and had great skill involved to stitch it all together. The superheroes, for once, were not meant be be loved and adored but extremely flawed.

I gave this 4 out of 5 stars because I felt it was a bit longer than necessary and the entertainment factor was lacking. It was an extremely thought provoking graphic novel though.
