Black Hole first 1/2

Well. Hmmm. I guess the book has weirded me out. This whole mouth in the neck, hole in the back, warts on the face, and uneven teeth thing freaked me out. What is with this desease that is passed through sex? Is he doing some type of parallel on HIV? Or is he trying to scare teenagers from having sex. And what is with all the nudity? That bothers me a little. I would rather not watch to individuals having sex in a book. But on a good note I am intrigued to find out what happens to Rob and Chris. Are they going to join the mutilated camp or actually leave for California? It is so funny, I always come away from these readings with more questions than anything else.

Beginning of Black Hole

I'm not even close to finished. I'm painstakingly trying to keep my mind involved with what little plot there is in this book. As far as illustrations go, this book has good ones. As far as writing, plot, and character development go; this book has nothing to offer so far. It may be playing at the idea of teenage pop culture: sex, drugs, rock & roll--no doubt the author knows about that having worked with Iggy Pop in the past, but so far it's not there; it's not interesting and frankly some of the images are gross. Not the nudity that actually doesnt bother me at all--it's the foot. The cut foot, the foot with junk coming out of it. I hate feet and I'm completely grossed out by the foot stuff.
Hopefully, though, the story builds, the plot and characters develop--at least a little bit--and I am able to take something away from this book other than don't have sex with someone that has a talking mouth on their chest.

v- ending/overall

The ending of the novel, for me, can only be described as the tension and climax was building and building and then it hits a point where you see somewhat what happens but really you are left with many questions. That didnt make a whole lot of sense but what i meant to say was that it wasnt a novel that tied up every loose end and explianed it all. It left you wondering what happens next and what did all that mean. So many questions regarding V, but wait actually V lives on sense he is only a mask covering something else. The character behind V first dies and has Evey as his predecessor and teaches her all that he knows and leaves her as all of the old V's dominos are in place. You seem to wonder what all the rest of the book meant and it is hard to decide.

V part 2

The book is just getting better. It leaves more and more unanswered questions leaving me to want to read more and more. It does jump around a little too much and is very confusing so im hoping more will be explained as i read. I think that as i read it wont explain to much but will just end openly. It is deep and has much meaning hidden behind everything that seems to be done and has many layers to look through. I like how it leads the reader one direction, makes you all confused and then leaves you hanging until you can figure out what is going on. It seems like he is one some drugs or something that makes him and other people trip out. It is a bit all over the place with knowing when the story switches around to different sub stories but once you get a few captions in it is okay

V part one

So I am really fascinated with the first part of this book. It is very mysterious and i love the way that V is shown with only his mask on. Pretty much in anything when the protagonist's face is not revealed it will keep the audience pulled in. They want to see what he lloks like and dont want to miss it just in case they do show it. Im am also interested in the color choices and how it seems to be just a few shades.

The End Marks the Beginning

Vendetta ended on a very subtle note, marking the unraveling of the last threads that the leader and his fascist fellows had weaved. The ending was more than perfect for the plot. After V had succeeded in destroying every sense of the establishment, Evey, the other characters, and all of humanity were left to build on the ashes or destroy eachother. It seems like the authors are trying to wreck havoc on the reader's sense of establishment, and sort of inspire a spirit of anarchy in it's place. I really enjoyed the complexity and mystery of the ending, almost to the point of feeling just like Evey in that now V is gone, and it's my turn to step up. I wish I had read this literature much sooner than my college freshman year, but now is just as good a time as ever I suppose. Great read.

Black Hole Part 1

After reading the first 1/4th of black hole the book really surprised me. Going into it it felt like a nonfictional story but as I read on the ideas and the events that were happening almost seemed fictional in there nature. So far the plot has been pretty boring and I don't feel like much has gone on but I think it is just opening things up for more things to happen. I don't really understand what the disease is and what it has to do with the story, I do think that this could easily play into a theme of an us vs. them mentality. Everything besides the disease could happen in real life so I don't really understand where the story is going and also I have never been much of a science fiction type of guy so as of right now I'm not a huge fan of the sotry. Also I don't like how all the characters faces are so similiar because it makes it hard to distinguish them especially chris from the main character.
