Watchmen

Two days ago I purchased and started reading the graphic novel 'Watchmen.' It is considered the greatest graphic novel ever written and is on Time magazines 100 best novels. I see why. The first page pulls you in. It is truly fantastic. As those who know me, know that i am not an avid reader. I personally have nothing against books, I just don't have the attention span. But i think graphic novels are my calling. I always thought if books had more pictures i would read them. I know that sounds absurd and immature, but seriously my attention span calls for those kind of distractions. Jesse and I tried to read our x-men comic book once and we just couldn't do it. The dialogue is so freakin cheesy and lame. I don't know if it holds true for all graphic novels but the writing in 'Watchmen' is good and not cheesy. Plus i like looking at the bloody pictures when people get beat up. I would highly recommend this to everybody, well almost everybody. It is a fantastic read, so for those of you that don't have the attention span or the patience to read (jake), this is the novel for you. Plus, the movie comes out next friday and it looks freaking awesome. Read it. I think you will like it.
