Iv wanted to read this story for years now I was so hyped up that I finally bought it after so long.. Then I read it and was sort of disappointed.. I'm not saying is wasn't good it was I just had expected more. If your a big (Batman/Joker) fan like me then then its still worth reading at the very least u can say you've read it before

For years, this has been referred to as a masterpiece. It's been laden with hype and years of reflection, but not hindsight. This is a good read. It clocks in at 68 pages, which bleeds into simply being an oversized comic. But 20 bucks for it, isn't worth the money. I'd wait for it to go on sale. It's a good story that offers some great insight on The Joker. But Alan Moore didn't give much care in crafting this story. He's not a fan and it ultimately shows in the end product.

I'm not sure if this is an issue with this book in particular or with Google Play Books as a platform, however, when I purchase content I expect to be able to read every page of said content. The book seems fantastic, but it is impossible to enjoy with several missing images throughout. A cursory Google search revealed no helpful information on fixing missing images in Google play books. Buyer beware. ( purchased and reading on Nexus 7 tablet)
