		<description>I&#039;ve bought, read and sold the books because of the content about child abuse.
Moore says nothing about it how the moral of this should be.
And in all the interviews I&#039;ve found he just says &quot;Well, so is life. It is realism. I just tell it how it is.&quot;

No. 
That is too much.
Porn may be okay.
But with child abuse the story reached a sharp end. :(</description>

		<description>Brian,

While I still haven&#039;t finished Lost Girls I&#039;d suggest that you have to put Alice&#039;s &quot;lesbiansim&quot; in the context of all the other characters in the story.  From what I&#039;ve read virtually all of the characters exhibit sexual desire towards members of both gender (even if they&#039;ve been socialized to ignore those desires as in the case of the Potters).  In this light Alice&#039;s lesbianism is more exceptional because it involves not only the embrace of her homosexual impulses but the outright rejection of heterosexuality.  I don&#039;t think that it&#039;s unfair for Moore to suggest that the particularities of Alice&#039;s life, as depicted in the graphic novel,  have lead to her despise men and thus ignore any heterosexual desires she may have.  If there&#039;s any ideology to Lost Girls it&#039;s the embrace of complete openness to all forms of sexuality and sexual impulse.  Seen through this lense the strict criteria and exclusivity of lesbianism (as a word or idea) is just another form of socially defined constraint that prevents Alice achieving full personal realization.  Though I shouldn&#039;t really comment on the end of the story, as I haven&#039;t read it, it seems to me that should Alice, by the end of the book, become more open to the possibilties and varieties of sexual experience available it would be completely in keeping with arc of the rest of the characters.</description>

		<description>I really enjoy the art in this.   Particularly the distinct styles given to each character as they share their stories.   Moore&#039;s comments on the state of Europe during that time period also made an interesting thematic elements to the story.

That said, yep, it&#039;s porn.  It isn&#039;t meant to be erotic at all either....this is something designed to be more in your face rather than titilating.</description>

		<description>Very graphic, with lots of literal prose.

I&#039;m not a Gebbie fan, but was even impressed by her work on this graphic novel.

May well be considered Moore&#039;s best work to date, but too literal for me.

Now, maybe he&#039;ll finish BIG NUMBERS!</description>
