V for Vendetta by Steve Moore
4.0
Saw the movie years ago before I'd ever even been to the UK. I enjoyed it back then, but at the time, I didn't really know who Guy Fawkes was or what he means to the British. Now that I've been working for a British company for the last 15 years, I'm a bit more culturally attuned.
Crossing fingers the US will be in relative peace and stability, even under MAGA, but in my fantasies, I have to admit that I sometimes think it would be so much better to go scorched earth like V and Evey. I realize it's weird that books like this would be beacons of hope for me, but some days, living in this country feels that bleak.
Books are being actively banned, burned, and rewritten in the US. So I'm trying to read as many of these banned books as soon as I can before access is completely eliminated or unrecognizably altered. This book, as well as the Alan Moore graphic novel, are on the banned list.
