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

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.
