This book was the definition of 'meh' and none of the characters are likeable. Scott is 23 and dating a 17 year old, who he then cheats on with a manic pixie dream girl, who he basically stalks. The whole thing was boring, fake quirky, and annoying.

Obviously I adore Scott Pilgrim (who wouldn't?). It's been years since I read the books and it's awesome to see all the little bits of storyline that didn't make it into the film (and also all the little things that found their way in at different points). These colour editions are wonderful, with extra comics, drawings, original doodles and planning sheets. I just love love love it.
