I read the source material. I found it hard to follow, no real flow. But I think the story was much better in the movie than the book. They made V a better character in the movie more moving, more thought provoking. They kept the necessary elements of the novel (but it a radically different order). I agree it is an issue, Alan Moore didn't like it at all, but David Lloyd thought it was very well done and said Alan Moore would not like anything unless it a direct adaptation.

I had a lot of problems with the graphic novel and did not really enjoy it, but the movie was great. More powerful, more thought provoking. Like come on, in the book he figures out V's history by going to Larkhill and taking LSD and hallucinated his time in the prison, that's stupid.
