From Hell Being a Melodrama in Sixteen Parts

GROSS!

A dense book, but a good read. Not my favorite by Moore, but it's a really interesting take on the Jack the Ripper murders.

I tried so hard And got so far But in the end It doesn't even matter.

Interesting, complex and probably a great literary achievement, but unfortunately let down by the artwork which makes some scenes difficult to understand, particularly in recognising characters.

I had a really hard time getting into this book, but that's the beauty of book club...you have an external motivation to keep plugging along. I felt terrible thinking, "Oh, good, he finally killed somebody," but that's when the pace picked up and I ended up staying late and waking up early the next morning to finish it. It's been awhile since I have done that. The graphics are pretty horrifying so not for those with a queasy stomach.

A friend bought me this to convert me into a graphic novels guy. I enjoyed it well enough, but I wouldn't say I'm all in. I shall not, however, close my mind to trying another one.
