Story
Guy Montag is a fireman. In his world, where television rules and literature is on the brink of extinction, firemen start fires rather than put them out. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television "family."

In his first-ever short story collection, which spans forty years of work, Alan Moore presents a series of wildly different and equally unforgettable characters who discover—and in some cases even make and unmake—the various uncharted parts of existence.

Story
Alan Moore channels both the ecstatic visions of William Blake and the theoretical physics of Albert Einstein through the hardscrabble streets and alleys of his hometown of Northampton, UK. In the half a square mile of decay and demolition that was England's Saxon capital, eternity is loitering between the firetrap housing projects. Embedded in the grubby amber of the district's narrative, among its saints, kings, prostitutes, and derelicts, a different kind of human time is happening.

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.

In The Worst of You, just-wed architects Timo and Nia flee a murder scene, setting in motion a chain reaction of lies and betrayals that threaten to unravel everything they have built together. Twisted and propulsive, this thriller is told from the alternating perspectives of the couple and those close to them on Williwaw Island, each with their own motive to use the outcome of the murder case to their advantage. When a huge storm sweeps up the coast, trapping everyone on tiny Williwaw Island, it’s a race against time—and the elements — to stop the murderer from striking again.

Few novels have had as profound an impact on American culture as On the Road. Pulsating with the rhythms of 1950s underground America, jazz, sex, illicit drugs, and the mystery and promise of the open road, Kerouac’s classic novel of freedom and longing defined what it meant to be “beat” and has inspired generations of writers, musicians, artists, poets, and seekers who cite their discovery of the book as the event that “set them free”.

Yes this was exciting, keep me interested. I'm suprised cause I'm not usually into superhero books or make or role play. Non-fiction is my favorite. And this was fun, I hate when people write a long descriptive review and tell the whole dang story, so I'm gonna leave it here.

A Novelization Worth Listening To
Would you listen to V for Vendetta again? Why?
No reason other than I didn't think I would pick up anything new a second time.
Any additional comments?
This is a novelization of the screenplay of the graphic novel/comic books. It follows very closely with the movie. It was done well, though.

Improves on the movie
Any additional comments?
I came into this book after having watched the movie, albeit about 10 years before. I was and still am a fan of the movie, so I did have some expectations going in. I was worried that it would be just a retelling of the movie and although it sort of was, it also added to it immensely. I loved how the author went into the minds of the different characters and described the events in such a way that made me appreciate the movie even more.
For someone who hasn't watched the movie, I would recommend reading the book first and then watching it because the book does add that extra layer of what's going on in people heads that is almost impossible to explicitly portray in a movie. However, I do think that the movie was superior with the action sequences and overall atmosphere, although the latter could be debatable.
Either way, the world is a great dystopia in the sense that it feels plausible and the sense of hopelessness is really tangible. I also enjoyed the characters, especially since the focus shifts among three of them which let's you experience their growth thoroughly throughout the book. Writing was also superb and engaging, especially considering it followed the movie scene by scene.
I was very tempted to give this the full five stars, but the lacklustre action sequences and the lack of anything really new, kind of let me down a bit.

Surprisingly good!
It's unusual for a book to evolve from a movie that was based on a comic book, but that is what we have here. I was worried a bit about getting this book, but the movie was pretty good, so I took the risk.
I'm glad I did. The book brings more depth to the characters while remaining in step with the movie. Simon Vance, as always, was superb and his voice was ideal for this dystopian novel. The sum total was a very rewarding listen of an excellent story.
Whether you've seen the movie or not, I can highly recommend that this audible version is worth your time.

Any form of powerful government equals corruption.
I enjoyed getting into this book. I had just as much fun reading up on it's origins as I did listening to the performance. Simon Vance is a reliable narrator and always impresses. This audiobook is like watching an extended version of the movie. I was surprised how close to the graphic novel they kept the movie.
