Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life

Rating: 3.5 of 5

I adored the film adaptation (it was one of my fave movies of 2010) and really only read Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life at the behest of my daughter who loved the entire Scott Pilgrim series. The movie was so close to the book, though, that I didn't feel I missed much, if anything, by having not read it before I saw the movie. I look forward to the reading the other five books because my kid tells me there's more in them (especially three through six) than in the movie.

Side note: This was my first graphic novel. Now I understand why people love 'em. ( )

Recommended by my cuz. A funny, lively mix of post adolescence angst and comic super hero antics. ( )

Excellent, can't wait for number 2, and I've the movie all cued up and waiting for me to enjoy. ( )

Since it became somewhat of a sensation, I was curious about it. Had the chance to read it at the library today and though it is enjoyable, it wasn't this "OMG this is amazing!" comic for me. It is a nice read and it is a bit funny and engaging, but you just feel a tiny bit like the story was made on the go and things just kinda happen out of the blue without a reason, yet at the same time you get all this information about Scott and his life (or Knives friends) which is a fill-up for the comic without a purpose.
All in all I can say it is enjoyable but wouldn't buy it for my collection.
I'll read the next ones soon and see if it changes my opinion of the overall comic. ( )

Scott Pilgrim vive una vita normale, suona in un gruppo, vive in un seminterrato con un amico gay e frequenta ragazze più o meno della sua età.
Un giorno incontrerà in sogno Ramona e sarà amore a prima vista; purtroppo Ramona ha un passato di ex fidanzati malvagi con cui Scott dovrà scontrarsi.
Disegno essenziale, storia divertente, mi leggerò i 5 volumi successivi e poi magari vedrò anche il film. ( )
