A review by purnuhja
Watchmen by Alan Moore

adventurous dark tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

I enjoyed the themes of the story, I think Moore is a great writer who did a great job of exploring the moral complexities of superheroes and humanity. I struggled to follow the multiple storylines until things clicked in the very end (especially the pirate comic subplot), but when it clicked it was cool to see how it came together. I think the superhero genre and the comic medium are just not my preferred methods of storytelling for this amount of depth and complexity. Good book but just not for me.
