Customer Reviews
I have really never read many comic books, and never a grap novel but I bought into all the hype and got this book. It was okay, but nothing special, boring at points and basically a long comic book.
I enjoyed the watchmen graphic novel very much. The story had a very unique plot ,which made it very hard for me to put the book down.Although the story got a little bland half way through, it was utterly enjoyable. I did have a problem , however , on one page in my copy, I had a hole in the page.
I got this book for my husband, who read through it in no time. He says that it had a scene in it that some might find a bit too graphic. He enjoyed the book nonetheless.
Watchmen has no doubt made it's mark on society, being cast as the most celebrated graphic novel of all time is a high standard to live up to. And it does. The book itself (or comics, as some prefer) goes thru explaining the situations and the characters like nothing you will find anywhere else. Each piece is complex in it's own right, you may find it hard to understand until you read it a few extra times. The movie is just the same. Entertaining, enlightening and every piece is made to keep you on the edge, including Tails of The Black Freighter. Though, I will admit, this type of book isn't quite for everyone. It's nothing like the Batman series, I can promise you that. Not recommended for the weak of heart, to say the least.
Pictures are great and vivid. Much thanks to Overstock for prompt shipping and the best price out there for this book.
