Pros

Alan moore's evocation of his hometown sustains the meticulous composition of his graphic excursions. Moore has a pleasing descriptive prose that's quite easy to read. Moore not only creates a rich world replete with pathos and joy but one of incredib... Read More

The characters are multi layered and highly developed. There are chapters (long ones) written in joycean stream of consciousness and one in gobbledygook that might drive you batty. I count at least ten puns or other sorts of wordplay in these two sent... Read More

Cons

For fiction reading it just feels like a chore. There is a chapter in which the main speaker is in an asylum and the text is unreadable. It is like the emperor's (invisible) clothes.

Jerusalem is pointless after 1000 pages. It has no sense, no value, nothing to offer the humble and serious reader. To the rest of us with imaginations it's just not necessary.

It's a political treatise on the abuses of the aristocracy and wealth inequality.

A decade in the making and it shows, a lifetime and beyond of characters spill out of the pages, too many to count, but it all ... Read More
