Alan Moore is perhaps one of the greatest writers of the 20th century. And 'V For Vendetta' is indeed the celebration, or evidence more so, of that fact.

If you've watched the movie, and expect the book to be along the similar lines (as I did) then be prepared to be wowed. 'V For Vendetta' sees More and Llyod defy the conventional nature of comic books, and indeed the graphic story telling.

Set in a future where Britain's fascist government has left the people oppressed, a revolutionary te...

The experience of reading the book is several notches better than the movie. The plot is little different in the movie. The beauty of the dialogue was lost in the movie. Yes...the dialogues and the language in the book is far more gripping and exciting. It explores many more themes and ideas than the movie. It has several layers of interpretation which are generally lost in the pace of a movie.

The best line 'your pretty empire took so long to build. now with a snap of history's fingers.......

V for Vendetta is one of the most memorable graphic novels ever written! It tells the story of a vigilante, known simply as V, who uses his 'terrorist' methods against a repressive fascist government in post-war England.

I have heard many people call it Alan Moore's version of 1984 - the similarities in the settings of both the novels are striking. Yet, 1984, while being an excellent and epic book, takes away all hope and leaves you feeling sad for humanity. V, on the other hand, gives you ...

Firstly, thanks Flipkart for the swift delivery.

Secondly, this book is a gem. I love Alan Moore's works and this comes next to Watchmen. Its a world in its own.
Awesome.

Tip 1: If you ever see a book on someone's bookshelf by Alan Moore, READ IT. This demigod of irreverence and transgression has danced with the Devil all his career, and has produced works of genius in so doing. From Hell. Watchmen. V for Vendetta. Just to name three of (in my opinion) his major, far-reaching works. V for Vendetta was written as an imagined dystopia. Once you read it, you'l see that its truths abound all around us, in many different ways and degrees. V for Vendetta is a warnin...

This book, is not just a book or a graphic novel, its a piece of history.
All very well written and illustrated. Kudos to Alan Moore and David Lloyd.

And the best part is the dystopian timeline the book is set in and numerous counts of moral ambiguity in the book.

And the protagonist, well he is an anti-hero unlike any other.

I recommend a copy for the shelf.

Hard to believe that this was written in the 80s. Probably the best graphical work I have ever seen till date. The story and the gruesome artwork makes it even more appealing. Lovely work of art and a masterpiece in my opinion. Moore and Loyd certainly did justice to this project.

There isn't much I can add to the already glowing reviews except to say that if you like comics/graphic novels and don't own this one already, you owe it to yourself to buy V for Vendetta. The complex story, the excellent characterization and the stunning artwork all come together in one perfect symphony of comic panels, and I'm not exaggerating!

Get it!

the delivery was prompt. the delivery man respectful and helpful. the book is so amazing I assure u that u will keep it well preserved and store it like a very expensive perfume

There are a lot of excellent reviews for this book, so mine's just going to be directed at those who think 'tl;dr'.

Brilliant plot. Fantastic characters. Great dialogue. Interesting alternate history perspective. Masterpiece by one of the greatest graphic novel writers, ever.

Buy it. Read it. If you (gasp!) don't read it, lend it to other people.
