Definitely a great graphic novel. The movie butchered it IMO. Have you seen the movie?

Not seen the movie, dont want to see Dr. Manhattan and his floppy appendage

Learn how to and then read it.

 

If you are blind, have someone read it to you

I get a even worse headache than I have all the time, if I try to read a book.

Having someone else read would take far too long and I would get bored within 2min.

This is almost like a movie more than a book.

 

I heard they changed the ending in the movie, which is pretty much the defining part of the story (I'm saying nothing). I envy you, getting to read it for the first time.

Ya I didnt want to watch the movie before i read the novel.

graphic novels are generally full length stories (movie/ film/ tv series) put in a comic like story structure and released as a single large copy

It's a graphic novel man which in generic terms equates to a book that's a collection of a series of comic books. I have quite a few myself. Batman: Hush Unwrapped, Batman A Death in the Family, Green Lantern: Blackest Night, the Death of Spiderman..

Is hush any good? After V for Vendetta i was planning on reading that, and Watchmen was not separate Comics it was strictly a graphic novel. But that was just an exception.
