The League of Gentlemen Audiobook

" having grown up reading the classic adventure tales, i love the concept and make-up of the motley league. everything is as it should be: imperfect characters, ridiculous racism, frequent and increasingly improbable guest appearances from various victorian literature. quite intriguing for someone who grew up reading the various source novels. for someone who didn't, probably not so much. "

" Descent...but nothing special. "

" Just finished reading this for my Victorian Afterlives English Class. It was amazing! I loved how Alan Moore incorporated well known fictional Victorian characters into his graphic novel! For those familiar with Victorian literature, you will not stop laughing at all the humorous jokes throughout the text. I was initially skeptical about this comic being a good read, but I was happily proven wrong. :) "

" Clever (much better than the dumb-arsed movie) with a thousand references to the most obscure Victoriana imaginable. "

" Interesting art, good story. Wiki was my friend in figuring out where all the secondary characters come from. This actually got me a little interested Jules Verne so I might try some of him next. "

" A neat story, all the more fun if you're familiar with literary characters from the 1800s. "

" Alan Moore can't do much wrong in my book... or his! (That was a pun.) "

" It was fun. The art was neat and I had seen the movie & I like how it tied into many of the other books & characters I have read about (eg, Dr.Moreau, Sherlock Holmes, Capt Nemo, Dr.Jekyl/Mr.Hyde, Invisible Man, etc). The only thing missing was a little more character development. "

" For my money, more entertaining than the Watchmen. "

" Some nice twists on classic tales, but I think some more steeping in the literature of the time would help my appreciation "

" Hilarious and right on point. "

" I heard a lot about this and had high expectations. The art was okay, but individual expressions were awful and blank. I thought the idea was really great, but the storyline would have been better without all that vulgarity... "

" What a great read this was, even though I'd already seen the movie, in fact, it helped me envisage the characters better. "

" This one was really, really awesome. I'm torn between this and Watchmen, and I'm somewhat tempted to think the latter is the best one. Nevertheless, League was so fun and page-turning. And the fact that it's custom-made for literature geeks like me makes it much more endearing. "

" While not quite at the same level artistically as Watchmen, Alan Moore has written an entertaining and rousing tale featuring pulp adventure characters from yesteryear. At times it wallows in the spot-the-reference syndrome, but it's all in good fun and well worth the read. "

" Much better than the movie. "

" This series was brilliant. Well done, Messrs Moore and O'Neill - bravo! "

" No Wathcmen, but it's still Alan Moore so it's worth a read. I was entertained, but certainly not blown away like I was with some of his other work. "

" re-read for fun "

" can't wait til i get my hands on volume 2 :) "

" Really beautiful and engaging. "
