I can understand why this has received so much love but for me it doesn’t live up to the hype. The characters are interesting, they’re well formed and they keep the story interesting and moving. No one is particularly good, most of the Watchmen are immoral in different ways. Despite this I do feel like some characters could be fleshed out more. I’ve read many reviews that call the characters real, I wouldn’t agree with this.

The story is interesting but I can’t shake the feeling that I just wanted more. I can’t fully explain why but something about the ending just felt unsatisfying. I’ll perhaps read this again but on the first read it just seems good.
