Scott Pilgrim vs. the World by Bryan Lee O’Malley

4.0

---

After the first book, I was left feeling decidedly underwhelmed. I wasn't really sure what all the fuss was about. However, after reading the second book, my heart is definitely warmed. Sure, the eponymous Scott Pilgrim is a bit of a douchebag, especially when it comes to the girls, but there is something funny and charming about him and the situations he finds himself in are definitely amusing. I am keen to watch the film, especially since I can see Michael Cera bringing a sensitivity to the role and the all-important likability that will mean you are rooting for him to succeed, not fail. I will be reading the next one at some point for sure.
