Alan Moore's second novel, Jerusalem is due to be released later this year. But if reading more that 600,000 words fills you with a little trepidation, why not look to someone who has done it for you?

He's never read one single book this long before, let alone one that jumps in style and tone so much from chapter to chapter.

And this is his journey…
