I will make this short by telling you that V for Vendetta was one of the greatest stories I've read in my life. That's saying alot. For a while the main charecter 'V' was my favorite comic book charecter once I read it. If you want to read a story that makes you enjoy what you have in this life and that you don't live in a world with are every move being watched, I'd read this book. I'd also recomend Giorgio Kostantinos'-Quest- to people who don't really read graphic novels.

One of the strongest political books in any genre, V is akin to such books as 1984 or A Brave New World. Moore's ability to twist the knife has never been stronger and in V has created an almost perfect protaganist who is part villian, part hero and completely human. Should be read simply to see how far a person will go to 'make things better'. This is as close to literiture as you'll get in the medium.
