Review: Another great novel by Alan Moore. Again, action packed, and very political. I read this graphic novel after watching the movie. I think they did a great job putting this movie on the big screen. The story differs from the novel but overall it was great. The more I read Alan Moore's work, the more of a fan I become. For the most part, his stories involve characters who are disturbed mentally but have great hearts. The story lines always take place in worlds that are an exaggerated versions of the political climate of the time the novels were written. It is this aspect that makes this novel an enjoyable one.

Watchmen (1995)

Editorial: DC Comics

Review: This book is crazy good. Watchmen is to superheroes what "The Sopranos" were for mobsters. It's a book that portrays superheroes as imperfect human beings with severe mental issues and vulnerabilities that would make them all candidates to a mental institution. The book is so intense that I know I'll be able to read it over and over and still not fully understand all the characters. Excellent book, except for the parts where Dr. Manhattan flashes his "tunk".

Treasure Island (1993)

Author: Robert Louise Stevenson
Editorial: Stanley Applebaum

Review: This is an amazing story. The action is so great that it keeps you on the edge of your seat. I love the maritime terminology used throughout the book because it forced me to use google images and wikipedia while reading to become familiarized with the terms. I really recommend this book.
