Just a quick update to apologise for having held onto this book for so long. It's next on the TBR pile, and I hope to send it to Danielle in the next week or so (fingers crossed.)

Thanks again for sharing :-)

Journal Entry 6 by Danielle23 from Sunderland, Tyne and Wear United Kingdom on Thursday, November 05, 2009

I was a little unsure about this book when it arrived as I've never read a comic book before and thought I wouldn't warm to it. Well I was wrong! I absolutely loved it. Fantasy/Sci-fi is so my genre and the unique story line kept me gripped right to the end and I was still surprised on the final page.

The pirate story running through the story was gripping too and honestly horrific when thought about, and I loved the character reports, newspaper articles and excerpts from other fictional work that ran through the comic. I thought this gave more depth to the story and helped piece together a few loose ends.

My favourite character without a doubt was Rorschach. I can't quite explain why but there was something about him that made me read his parts really quickly and wish there were more of them. You might see what I mean when you read it for yourself. (It also happened that Hallowe'en fell when I was reading this book and I saw someone dressed up in a Rorschach costume! He looked amazing and it made my night.)

Thanks so much for sharing this book Katrina, it was a great read and I loved the story (even the very strange ending). Will send this off to rachiesparrow ASAP xx

Journal Entry 8 by Caroley from Birmingham, West Midlands United Kingdom on Wednesday, December 09, 2009

Received today thanks. Can't wait to get started on this, it looks amazing. I just have to finish off my current book and then this one is next to be read. 

Journal Entry 9 by Caroley from Birmingham, West Midlands United Kingdom on Wednesday, December 16, 2009

A very big thank you to Katrinat for starting this ring. I have enjoyed reading this so much!

The graphics are amazing. All the extras in there, such as the excerpts from the book and police files etc., all add to the atmosphere and storyline. The pirate story too was superb, especially with the difference in the style of the graphics.

And the ending! Wow. Especially those full page illustrations. I must have stared at them for ages, torn between needing to get on with the story and wanting to absorb the detail.

Favourite character? Has to be Laurie.

I think this is the first bookring that I'm sad to be passing on. I fear I may have to aquire my own copy.

I'm just waiting for confirmation that Soffitta1 is ready to receive it and I'll get it posted on.

Received today, with a bunch of great postage stamps from the very kind Deepswamp. :)

I'll probably read this in between chapters of my current non-fiction read, to give my brain a little more *story* to work on.

Thanks for sharing, and I'll try to pass this on as soon as possible.

Journal Entry 16 by jsmeltser from Fort Madison, Iowa USA on Friday, April 16, 2010

Received in today''s mail. I've been waiting on this one for awhile, I'm very anxious to read it! 

Journal Entry 17 by jsmeltser from Fort Madison, Iowa USA on Tuesday, May 11, 2010

It's been a long time since I've read a graphic novel, but I'm certainly a fan again! Since I haven't been living under a rock for the past couple of years, I have seen the movie and while it was faithful to the novel, I enjoyed reading this as much or possibly more.

As of last Friday, this is on its way to Perryfran. Sorry for holding it for a bit, but I seemed to get a few rings all at once.

Thanks for sharing!

This is my first graphic novel, and I really enjoyed it. The detail in the illustrations is amazing. Thank you so much katrinat, for including me in this one.
It will go to Dave in tomorrow's mail. 

Journal Entry 23 by davemurray101 at Newcastle, New South Wales Australia on Tuesday, June 08, 2010

recieved in the post today. Thanks again to Cat207 for posting. and to KatrinaT for organising. Quite a while since I have even touched a comic book (sorry people I still don't really know the difference between 'comic book' and 'graphic novel'. 

Journal Entry 24 by davemurray101 at Newcastle, New South Wales Australia on Tuesday, June 29, 2010

Just catching up on a few journal entries and I realised I hadn't done this one yet. Quite a complex and multi-layered story one does not expect from a comic. Instead of being good v. evil - the Watchmen are highly complicated characters with mixes of both. Now returning to the 1001 library. Thanks to katrinat for sharing with everyone.
