I can't believe this book only has two stars on Amazon. This is a very, very good book. I first read it many years ago and despite the fact that I was to young to understand the book, I thought about it all these years. This time around, the book made alot more sense. Excellent book.

Well, this is a sad novel... poor Goliath stood no chance. If God was just he would've spared Goliath's life, even if it as just on this version of the story. Good, short read.

V For Vendetta (2008)

Title: V For Vendetta (2008)
ISBN: 978-1401208417
Fiction
 / Graphic Novel
Author: Alan Moore / David Lloyd
Editorial: Vertigo

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)

Title: Watchmen (1995)
ISBN: 978-0930289232
Fiction
 / Graphic Novel
Author: Alan Moore / Dave Gibbons
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)

Title: Treasure Island (1993)
ISBN: 978-0486275598
Fiction

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.

PS: Long John Silver kicks Arse!

Review: This Batman kicks ass, he's powerful, yet very vulnerable. Great action, a far cry from the television Batman of the 1960's.

Kick-Ass - Mark Milliar / John Romita Jr.

Title: Kick-Ass (2010)
ISBN: 978-0-7851-3435-0
Fiction / Graphic Novel
Author: Mark Milliar / John Romita Jr.

Review: I've never been into reading graphic novels, but that changed when I read Kick-Ass.

It KICKS ASS!

I watched the movie before reading the boo. The movie was great, but the story-line in the book is much better. It is much more violent and adult oriented, the art-work is great and it is very easy to follow. Hell, I even learned a new term... "TUNK" (Just read the book)

The Simpsons/Futurama - Crossover Crisis

Title: The Simpsons/Futurama - Crossover Crisis (2010)
ISBN: 978-0810988378
Fiction / Graphic Novel
Abrams Comicarts
Author: Ian Boothby
Artist: James Lloyd
Review: This is the first Graphic Novel (If you can consider it that) I have ever read. Being a Simpsons fanatic and one that likes Futurama I decided to give it a try. The animation was great, but I really didn't dig story-line... I felt like the writer didn't know where to take the story and he just pulled cheap ideas out of his arse. This book was reminiscent of the last few seasons of the show, the animation gets better, but the stories get worse. I think it's time for "The Simpsons" to be put to rest.
