So I am not going to lie, this book was really dense and a lot to take in. It was still really good, but at the same time it was funny that the last book we read in the class is soo dark and ridiculous.
I was reading an article somewhere online about Watchman and the creator Alan Moore. There was a quote in the article that kind of made me go "ahhh... that's why the book is so deep." Moore states "a superhero Moby Dick; something that had that sort of weight, that sort of density." So it only made sense that one of the reasons I couldn't get through Watchman was because Moore wanted it to be as dense as Moby Dick. And while both of these books are great, they both carry so much symbolism that its very easy to loose your place while reading.
So let's just say that it took me a while to get through Watchman, because I had to keep reading over and over again.
