I recently read one of Alan Moore’s novels Watchmen. Watchmen was a thrilling novel introducing various perspectives. It had many dilemmas that were interesting to watch, how characters dealt with them. Usually readers avoid comic books or something with pictures, and I don’t think that should limit their options. Watchmen was recognized as Time’s list of 100 best novels. If you can’t take my word for it then we can observe statistics. Moore provides  different perspectives and a different style of writing that some readers haven’t experienced and are afraid to adapt to. He also uses ideologies that other authors haven’t discovered and incorporates that into his writing. Moore is comfortable writing in the perspective of someone with a mental illness, different gender, or anything dark. This gives his characters their own story, making them significant in the readers mind. Some of Moore’s best work is Watchmen, V for Vendetta and From Hell. Many of his books have been turned into Hollywood films, mostly his famous pieces of work, but the books are much better.I highly recommend people reading some of his work, but the age groups range because some of the content is too violent. I admire Alan Moore and hope to read more of his work in the future.
