As one of the characters in the novel puts it, "Here is clever deep enough to drown in." Personally, I found VOTF difficult but well worth the effort.

My guess is this book is best experienced by having it read to you by Moore himself as he dances around a fire deep in the woods, for no less than 13 hours.

If any college professor or critic ever tells you that some work is irrevocably genius and presents it as undisputed fact, then it's best to accept whatever that person has to say with a grain of salt. ~o.0~:
Seeing a book’s (or any piece of art’s) flaws doesn’t make it any less great. If any college professor or critic ever tells you that some work is irrevocably genius and presents it as undisputed fact, then it’s best to accept whatever that person has to say with a grain of salt.

I thought the book was absolute genius. Especially the first chapter, which was my favorite story in the book. It was a bit dense and difficult to get through at times, but that made the pay-offs so much more rewarding. Even with the help of artists some of Moore's work can be difficult to get through (i.e., Swamp Thing #60, it was so disorienting) but so worth it. I think that the reviewer(s) of this book would change their opinion of this work if they distance themselves from it for a bit and re-read it again once or perhaps two more times. I plan to do the same thing myself in order to obtain a better purchase of this work of art. I totally disagree with this review. I thought the book was absolute genius.

On a sidenote: one can also witness his purple weakness in parts of Miracleman and especially V for Vendetta. yeah, Moore has his flaws and is nowhere near the untouchable writer comics would like him to be.

I'd wondered how so obviously talented a writer would fare outside comics, tho not enough to tackle his prose work. Excellent, excellent review.
