The tale of the man who one day would become The Joker is excel­lent. I don’t know if Mr. Moore intended to con­tribute this much to the DC mythol­ogy (the largest con­tri­bu­tion is that of Bar­bara Gordon’s tale) but in this story he did.

I enjoyed read­ing this book, the way the story unfolds is inter­est­ing and how the pro­tag­o­nist works through it from the past, to present-day, back to the past is skill­fully writ­ten. I liked how the author man­aged to makes the reader think the answer to the ques­tion is just on the next page, and then he just pulls it from us to be out of reach again.

We’ve all heard it before – mobile tech­nol­ogy is tak­ing over and peo­ple are shed­ding phys­i­cal books in favor of dig­i­tal copies. We no longer use our fin­gers to turn pages, and instead, we slide them down touch­screens. Some say it’s good – as those who con­sume books dig­i­tally are sta­tis­ti­cally more likely to pur­chase books rather than bor­row them – and some say it’s bad. Whether you’re for phys­i­cal books or think that e-books are the future, there’s no deny­ing how help­ful mobile tech­nol­ogy has become for read­ers everywhere.
