Publisher's summary

Remember, Remember the Fifth of November

Imagine a Britain stripped of democracy, a world of the not-too-distant future in which freedom has been surrendered willingly to a totalitarian regime which rose to power by exploiting the people's worst fears and most damning weaknesses.

This is the setting for the parable of Evey, a young woman saved from death by a masked man calling himself V. Beguiling and dangerous, V ignites the fuse of revolution when he urges his fellow citizens to shed the blanket of tyranny and oppression that they have permitted themselves to be cloaked in. While those in power take steps to neutralize the threat, police pursue the mystery of V, unaware of the terrible truth that awaits them. But it is Evey who, with V as her enigmatic guide, sets out on the painful path of deception and self-discovery, deconstruction and re-creation, vindication and vengeance.

Novelization by Steve Moore, based on the graphic novel illustrated by David Lloyd and published by Vertigo/DC Comics. Based on the screenplay written by the Wachowski Sisters.

Excellent rendition of the screenplay for the film.

Enjoyed the audiobook immensely, even more than the graphic novel of the same name. Simon Vance is excellent as usual. Found myself quite moved by Eevee's final words. Worth the credit.

Really!

You might as well listen to the movie! Explains a little bit more, but not much.

awesome story, excellent narration, except...

What did you love best about V for Vendetta?

the accent is perfect for the era, british but perfectly understandable by this canadian

Who was your favorite character and why?

Finch, torn between duty and self-preservation

Who was the most memorable character of V for Vendetta and why?

Eve, her growth and development are far more perceivable than in the movie

Any additional comments?

The voicing of Eve left a bit to be desired. Being that there are only one or two female characters, it might have been better to get women for those roles. Simon Vances performance as Eve sounded a bit forced or contrived, not at all natural, and nothing like I expected her voice to be, given character.

Great Story!

Unfortunately, it didn't expand much over the movie. I wanted more description of the world and more scenes.

Amazing book.

I'm a big fan of the movie which was amazing, and now the book. I finally got the chance to listen to it and it a big more detailed than the movie. It was very well written and every character was described beautifully in every aspect of their being. The voice of the narrator fit to the book and he did a great job bringing these characters to life.

Nothing new

If you seen the movie , there isn't nothing new in this book. Yet It is a good book narrated by an excellent actor. I enjoy the movie and the book.
