review 1: The only way to appreciate this astonishing book is to obviously read the graphic novel, but this book is just so darn good that you really can tell that some work was put into to it. Each paper is written so well that you know what they are taking about and why they were chosen for this book. It just enhances your perceptions of the graphic novel itself and I really enjoy that. Great book for any fan of Watchmen.
review 2: I have mixed feelings about this book, mainly because different people wrote it (some of whom were more capable writers than others). All the essays in the book had interesting perspectives on Watchmen, but I found some of them to be grasping at straws, trying to relate the tiniest spec of the graphic novel to philosophy, just so that the... morey can talk about that philosophical topic in greater depth (and therefore digressing). less
