Kinda weird, and not what I expected.

This book has made me feels things that I usually don't like or want to feel but it has been a wonderful read nonetheless. It is worth reading again and again.

The graphic novel came first. Then the screenplay. This novelisation is based on the screenplay and the original graphic novel. It was entertaining, but held no surprises. I have seen the movie long ago, but I think I will watch it again. 4.7/5.0.

It's my first time reading a novelization of a movie and I am very pleased. It's very faithful to the movie script but concentrates more in explaining the background of the story and the new order that is present in Britain, for me, someone who watched the movie fisrt, it helped me understand more of the tale as a whole. It doens't have as many dialogues for V as in the movie, and that was a little let down since he is such an interesting and unique character. You can pretty much say this is the movie from Chief Inspector Erich Finch point of view, and a great complement after watching the movie.

"revenge is the best dishes!"
ck...ck...ck...benar2 filosofi yang diplomatis$realistis saat dibutuhkan,seperti prinsip yang V yakini.dia"balas dendam"bukan untuk dirinya sendiri tetapi untuk sebuah revolusi kebebasan&kebenaran yang diyakininya.
it's perfect principle&idealism ever!,satu2nya kesalahan dari cerita ini adalah latar tempatnya(disini digambarkan berlatar negara inggris,seharusnya lebih tepat negara jerman karena pemimpin negaranya kanselir dan bendera negaranya lebih mirip ke nazi jerman&organisasinya.apalagi karakter kanselirnya,WAW! it's so"fuhrer"!;)

I was surprised at how much of the movie I remembered word for word, and therefore recognized in this audiobook as identical to the movie. I really enjoyed this version of the story.

While watching the movie the other night and loving it, I wondered if a book was behind it. It turns out there was indeed a graphic novel by Alan Moore and this novelisation of the film, which I quickly bought. It also turns out, surprise, surprise, this novelisation is almost a direct transcript of the film. So, in some ways, it doesn’t add anything to the film. It’s very well written by Steve Moore, even if it was like watching the movie again, only in book form, if that makes sense. The story itself is excellent, and putting the actual politics to one side, it does have echoes of present-day society. The general story is about a man wreaking revenge on those who did him wrong in a dystopian society reminiscent of 1984. There is a love story within this, which I especially enjoyed. If you haven’t seen the film, this book may be worth reading first. If you have seen the movie, then you may not gain much more from the book. I enjoyed it; as said, it was a very well-written description of the film, even if it did not add much to it.

Vandetta.. :))) my Anarchy friend. on lf the best political novel i've read forever V for Vendetta begins after a nuclear war has ravaged most of Europe. Although England "prevails," she is a mere shadow of her vibrant self, with a despotic regime stifling all dissent and making privacy impossible. Police are given sweeping powers and discretion to keep things under control. It is in this society that we meet 15-year-old Eva, forced into prostitution to survive. Rescued by the terrorist known only as V, she learns about the music and culture destroyed by the new rulers, rescued and preserved in the Shadow Gallery. With rip-roaring action, psychological terror and chills, this story is one for the generations to pass down. There are a few flaws that made portions of the comic a chore to read, most notably the forced accents of some characters... thank you Steve Moore... :)))

It reads like something better suited for visual media rather than text. Since it is a novelization, I guess that makes sense. You're probably better off seeing the movie or reading the graphic novel. Or not. I don't know because I haven't seen or read either. It's an interesting story, but it lacks depth and is full of blatant symbolism. I would say the symbols overtake the story and characters. This is one of the reasons I think it would work better in its original format.

Who doesn't like their leading men to be burn victims who commit crimes in cosplay?

Super velskrevet og fantasifuld?
En bog der på mange måder er skræmmende aktuel.

For a novel that was adapted from a screenplay that was adapted from a graphic novel that .... well you get the picture. After all that adaptation, it's a rollicking good read, tough and gritty and well-paced. I read it on Audible and enjoyed the performance by the actor immensely. Like all good dystopian scenarios, when you consider the current state of affairs in Europe and elsewhere, its future may not be too far off the mark. Worth the read so long as you're up for some fun and a little stretch of the imagination.
