V for Vendetta

By: Alan Moore

Narrated by: Simon Vance

Remember, Remember the Fifth of November

Imagine a Britain stripped of democracy, a world of the not-too-distant future in which freedom has been surrendered willingly to a totalitarian regime which rose to power by exploiting the people's worst fears and most damning weaknesses.

This is the setting for the parable of Evey, a young woman saved from death by a masked man calling himself V. Beguiling and dangerous, V ignites the fuse of revolution when he urges his fellow citizens to shed the blanket of tyranny and oppression that they have permitted themselves to be cloaked in. While those in power take steps to neutralize the threat, police pursue the mystery of V, unaware of the terrible truth that awaits them. But it is Evey who, with V as her enigmatic guide, sets out on the painful path of deception and self-discovery, deconstruction and re-creation, vindication and vengeance.

Novelization by Steve Moore, based on the graphic novel illustrated by David Lloyd and published by Vertigo/DC Comics. Based on the screenplay written by the Wachowski Sisters.

Exciting

Yes this was exciting, keep me interested. I'm suprised cause I'm not usually into superhero books or make or role play. Non-fiction is my favorite. And this was fun, I hate when people write a long descriptive review and tell the whole dang story, so I'm gonna leave it here.

Great Listen

Would you listen to V for Vendetta again? Why?

I would listen to it again, great story and wonderfully read.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

The plot keeps you at the edge of the seat, wondering what happens next... providing you did not see the movie.

Which scene was your favorite?

The blowing up of the old bailey.

Who was the most memorable character of V for Vendetta and why?

V, for his unending quest for "anarchy"

A Novelization Worth Listening To

Would you listen to V for Vendetta again? Why?

No reason other than I didn't think I would pick up anything new a second time.

Any additional comments?

This is a novelization of the screenplay of the graphic novel/comic books. It follows very closely with the movie. It was done well, though.

I read the comic book years ago. but to be able to close my eyes and been able to create an image while hearing the story so perfectly narrated its just perfect..
