V for Vendetta by Alan Moore

In the near future, England has become a corrupt, totalitarian state, opposed only by V, the mystery man wearing a white porcelain mask who intends to free the masses through absurd acts of terrorism.

I have to think about this one.

So thick with text it might as well be a book, which could be either a good or a bad thing, depending on your perspective.

There are chunks of political [or maybe it's philosophical?] musings which might have been interesting if it was a form of English [and I'm not talking about American versus British here] I could understand. I'm talking about words that don't come up in everyday conversation which when you hear them you still say “Hunh?”

I'd already seen the movie so it was interesting to catch some differences, especially in Eve's personality.

I always expect to be blown away when something has the sort of following this has but the second half seemed convoluted and uninteresting. I can see how this would have resonated in Thatcher's Britain though.
