This is the famous Alan Moore book I haven't read yet. I'm excited to read it. I'm already getting 1984 vibes.

I liked the part where he was talking to the statue of justice.

Also when you get to the Vicious Cabaret you might want to listen to it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JO4tQ...

I am not reading this book now but I read it some months ago. It is fascinating, I only had a problem with the dialect spelling. What it should be?

I finished. Enjoyed it pretty well. It reminded me a lot of Fight Club.
I didn't think the art was that great. It was kind of hard to tell the characters apart some of the time.

Do you mean Harper? Yeah, He's kind of hard to understand. His accent's Scottish.

I don't remember who was. At the time I suspected that it was a representation of some british accent, just didn't know which one. Thank you!

The timelessness, and relevance to the present, of some of the classic dystopian works always startles me. I enjoy this story every time.
