Not nearly as captivating as the unsurpassable Scott Pilgrim, but still a funny, relatable and beautifully drawn story

My sister bought me this for Christmas, and I finished it in 3 sittings (would have been sooner, but it's a heavy book). Beautiful art and great characters and story.

THIS book is adorable. It is seriously so much fun, so quirky and hilarious. The art style is really interesting- the characters look cute and sometimes the scenery is over the top which works very well. The main character Katie interacts with the narrator and it adds to the humour seeing a character interact with someone outside of the main story. I loved this and I read it really quickly. Bryan Lee O'Malley is very clever and I'm excited to keep reading the Scott Pilgrim series which I am in the middle of at the moment.

Learn what it means to come to terms with the course of your life, sometimes love will leave you, sometimes you will find yourself adrift in a sea of unknowing, but above else, there will always be at least one person in the world that loves and cares about you.

I loved the art style, the dry humor, the magical plot, everything. This graphic novel reads a lot like a comedy action film.

Enjoyed the story but thought some of the secondary characters lacked a bit of depth

Me gustó, aunque tengo que confesar que esperaba un poco más. Las ilustraciones me parecieron hermosas y muy agradables de mirar, es lo que más me atrapó. Sin embargo, la historia en sí no me pareció especial. Creo que todos a esta altura hemos mirado películas o leído libros que cuentan exactamente la misma historia, con la misma estructura, los mismos tipos de elementos sobrenaturales y el mismo mensaje o moraleja final. El autor podría haber tratado de hacer algo nuevo siguiendo la idea del "cuidado con lo que deseas". También sentí que todo se solucionó demasiado rápido, capaz fue una decisión por parte del autor para mantener el ritmo acelerado, pero hubiera estado bueno detenerse un poco en los peores momentos de Katie y verla reflexionar más. Ah, y al igual que muchas personas,

no entiendo por qué al final termina con Max, si según las realidades que visita no parece ser la mejor persona para ella

.

Sí fue una lectura entretenida y rápida, creo que terminé la novela en unas dos o tres horas, así que está muy bien como opción para pasar la tarde leyendo algo lindo.
