Watchmen

Dave Gibbons, Alan Moore | 1986 | Comics & Graphic Novels

8.8

Book Rating

Amazing characterization, a complete fictional world, psychologically satisfying, philosophically intriguing. Moore manages to treat both global and individual conflict quite well. Slightly uneven near the end, where it becomes less deep and more science-fiction-y. Otherwise, it would be a five star series. It deals with its complex subject matter quite competently. I have rated other graphic novels as five star that were not nearly as deeply satisfying, however they handled their admittedly much smaller task slightly better.

Ok acting. Ok cinematography. Rehashed story about finding an abandoned Nazi place where they experimented to create "supersoldiers" by mixing science with occult. This one was not too bad but not great. I watched the ele thing through. No happy ending here. That being said if you're into these sorts of horror films you'll probably enjoy this one too. Overall, it could've been better, but it could've been worse. Worth a watch if you can't find something else.

Science Fiction is not my genre, so I did not read this one by personal choice. It was assigned for a literature class which meant that as much as I did not want to finish the book, I had to. Overall, for not being my genre it was a better read than I had expected it to be. At times the story seemed confused as to the direction it was going, but I think that was intentional by Heinlein.

This is not what I expected. I checked this book out thinking it was going to be more science based. Instead it was more anecdotal. It was interesting hearing about different aspects of insomnia and what happens to a person. I found this goes a lot of topic at times. Nevertheless it is one of the the most beautifully metamorphically written book I’ve ever read. Listen to it, at times I felt like I was surrounded by colour.
