Not to be confused with Alan Moore's work, Mar 21 2006
By Keith Vaglienti - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: V for Vendetta (Mass Market Paperback)
I'm always a bit suspicious when someone releases a novelization of a movie based on a novel or, in this case, a graphic novel. After all, one would expect that the original work upon which the movie was based would suffice. My suspicions of this novelization were heightened by the cover which proclaims "an uncompromising vision of the future from the creators of The Matrix trilogy" and "a novelization by Steve Moore based on the screenplay written by the Wachowski brothers". Admittedly Alan Moore doesn't want his name associated in any way with the movie but these two statements create the impression that "V For Vendetta" is entirely the creation of the Wachowski brothers.Once you get into the book...well let's just say its done nothing to change my opinion of novelizations of movies based on novels. If you want to read "V For Vendetta" do yourself a big favor and get Alan Moore's graphic novel instead of this novelization.

This will tide you over..., Mar 28 2006
By Annaleise Ferreira "Acolyte of Cthulhu" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: V for Vendetta (Mass Market Paperback)
...Until the DVD comes out.I was pleasantly suprised to find that the author of this novelization is fond of the original graphic novel enough to incorporate elements that were absent in the film. He tones down V's emotional side and enhances the sequences such as the Larkhill flashback and Evey's incarceration with lots of background information that got left out.
I love the movie but I was disapointed with some of the changes made. This novel is a great combination of the two and is very evocatively written besides.
The only thing that loses a star is that it follows the script of the movie nearly to a word. Usually novelizations are based on earlier versions of the script and so they contain extra scenes and such, but this one doesn't. If you're really attached to the script this is a good thing, but I was sort of hoping for a new spin on things.
I'd still highly recommend it, though.

Novel of the Film, Jan 9 2007
By S. Dost "a.k.a. Trinity" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: V for Vendetta (Mass Market Paperback)
After seeing the movie, V for Vendetta, and instantly becoming a fan, I bought this novel to read. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, finding it to be very well written and comprehensive. It is very like the film, with some small differences, details that allowed me more insight into the characters, particularly V and Evey. If you loved the film as I did, I would definitely recommend this novel.
