About this listen

Remember, Remember the Fifth of November

Imagine a Britain stripped of democracy, a world of the not-too-distant future in which freedom has been surrendered willingly to a totalitarian regime which rose to power by exploiting the people's worst fears and most damning weaknesses.

This is the setting for the parable of Evey, a young woman saved from death by a masked man calling himself V. Beguiling and dangerous, V ignites the fuse of revolution when he urges his fellow citizens to shed the blanket of tyranny and oppression that they have permitted themselves to be cloaked in. While those in power take steps to neutralize the threat, police pursue the mystery of V, unaware of the terrible truth that awaits them. But it is Evey who, with V as her enigmatic guide, sets out on the painful path of deception and self-discovery, deconstruction and re-creation, vindication and vengeance.

Novelization by Steve Moore, based on the graphic novel illustrated by David Lloyd and published by Vertigo/DC Comics. Based on the screenplay written by the Wachowski Sisters.

Interesting story line in these current difficulties

Hopefully, not a future 🔮 Prediction of COVID-19 and the World at large

Great read, interesting timing

Excellent use of language and imagery. If I was ever to write a book and it was turned into an audio book I'd 100% request Simon Vance to perform it. This was a perfect combination or words and craft

'V'ery good

This book is playing out almost the same scenario as in today's real world events..

Almost telling us what is going to happen next

I'm thoroughly enjoying this adaptation, the narrator is doing a great job and the story is very entertaining.

"V" is one of my favourite heroes, eloquent and intelligent, the story is both thought provoking and spellbinding.

My only complaint is that, whilst I truly enjoy the story, I wish that we as a nation were a little less keen to enact it...

A very good adaptation

I had previously watched the film so knew the plot, but this made no difference to my enjoyment of this audio book because Simon Vance's narration was so brilliantly done and the ideas been the story so inspiring that I found it very moving. I am amazed at Steve Moore's almost poetic writing that so deepens the original screenplay. I couldn't want for a better audiobook experience. Gripping and exciting in the scale of its ambition.

Brilliantly narrated beautifully written story

The fictional story about a fascist government in the UK, the fictional world disasters keeps drawing me back.

I keep coming back to this book

I left a good review because I do love the story but it is word for word the movie as it is based on the screen play. So if this is the first time you've discovered V for Vendetta then I would say either listen to the audio book or watch the movie but you don't need to do both.

If you've watched the movie you've heard the audio book

I love everything second of this book! V is almost perfect just dislike his ending which I felt shouldn’t have happened.

Beautifully written perfection

As a previous reviewer has said Simon Vance is an excellent reader. This is a novelisation of the film and is quite different from the original brilliant graphic novel by Alan Moore. None the less it is a wonderfully gripping version and one of the best stories I have had the pleasure of listening to. I highly recommend

V Good

Simon Vance's narration really brings this book to life - suiting the main character of V down to the ground. The pacing is excellent, and the book itself is gripping from start to finish. I found that I was sucked in to the storyline far more than is usual, and some of the sadder portions of the book had me in tears.

The best audiobook that I've had the pleasure of listening to!

Excellent audiobook
