Alan Moore once again manages to be an impressive writer whilst simultaneously being frustrating and annoying.

Based on what is written in the article, Moore should consult with an editor and take their suggestions seriously. An editor's role is to make sure the story is coherent enough for the reader to understand or begin to understand the story's themes. Changing writing styles sporadically from one chapter to the next runs the risk of confusing the reader which is a large No No. The long word count also begs the question on whether each word is necessary to get the story's themes across to the reader. Unless there is are specific reasons why the chapters contain different writing forms and whether or not each of the 1 million words have to be in the piece, I don't see how this book would function. However, Moore does have experience in writing and his works are well received both commercially and critically, so it may be too early to pass judgement. I guess we'll see once the book becomes accessible to us.
